Gut Feelings


I consider myself very lucky.  Why?  Because I have great trust in my gut.  I have always been intuitive and fortunate to be able to turn some of that intuition into a career in technology.  Or should I say, a career in problem solving.  Everyday, someone comes to me with a tech issue and I suggest the first thing that pops into my head, and most of the time, the problem is resolved.  Thank you God for my gift or talent in technology.

On a personal note, when a problem arises, I listen to my gut and go with the first thing that pops into my mind.  If I ignore the message, it seems that my blood pressure rises.  I pace and resist the thought of doing something I do not want to do.  I feel miserable.  But then, as soon as I succumb to it, I am calm.  The calmness in my body reminds me that I am doing the right thing.

I am lucky to be aware of this living connection I have with my world.  I believe that all people have this natural instinct but are not quiet enough to be aware of it and even fewer of us trust it.  I sincerely hope that you find an opportunity today to take a risk and trust your gut.  For it is then, that you are truly alive in this world.

Mid Life ... Crisis or Not

Image
As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps I'm in a midlife crisis.  I've been reading several articles and blogs:  The Midlife Crisis ,  10 Signs , and  Is it Real?  to name a few.  So I've decided, I am in a crisis and it is in the middle of my life.  But I'm not going to buy anything elaborate --- except maybe that trip to Ireland I'm planning this year.  I've been overly stressed and overwhelmed. I've been worried about my health and well being and I do feel inadequate in both my family and professional life though and that bothers me.  Nothing really has changed except my perception.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  It's all me and how I look at things. And then I don't believe myself --- which causes a crisis!  UGH!

Compliments

Image
Giving and receiving compliments are two of the best ways to feel good. A week ago, I changed my hairstyle and the compliments just keep coming.  Sometimes, I think to myself; "Wow, my hair must have really looked bad, that it looks so good now."  But most of the time, I can take a good compliment. What makes a compliment good?  I read a couple of blogs about the topic and liked this one, by Ty Bennett:  How to Give a Compliment  the best.  I like the GPS reference. (Genuine, Personal, Specific)  I hope it helps me to remember that giving a compliment means I'm paying attention.  Receiving a compliment, means someone is paying attention to me. Life is hard enough to not have people notice.  Life is easier, when you notice other people.  It gets the focus off of yourself and your troubles. It helps to develop empathy for family or community members who are having their own issues.  Remember, God put all of the people here...

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
