Today I tried to catch up on laundry so that I can pack tomorrow. The kids and I are off to BC with my mom and dad on Tuesday. So, of course, I left most of the laundry until today because that’s just what I do. Story of my life. Last minute, last minute, last minute. Some things never change. Once a procrastinator always a procrastinator! 

I figure, there is always going to be a to do list. There’s always going to be something that needs to get done. Just one more thing…it doesn’t end. There has to be a way to prioritize the list, or it can drive you mad. These days everything is so go, go, go.  It’s like if I do nothing, whether or not I feel sick, I’m judged negatively. If you like to relax, you’re lazy. If all you do is work, you’re a workaholic who should spend more time relaxing (ie: being lazy). There is no “right way”. Some people are night owls and some are morning people. Some find time with friends and fun is a great way to let go. Other people crave and need alone-time to recharge. Some people follow their kids around picking up every toy scattered behind them. Others have the kids help tidy, while others tidy up once the kids are in bed. If I regularly eat supper at 7:00, when the average time may be 5:30, does that make me a bad person? Am I doing things “wrong”? And, hey, who gets to decide what is right or wrong anyway?? Why do we let others dictate how we live our lives? Again, I say, there is no “right way.” Everyone needs to find “their way”. Figure out what fits with you. What feels right.  Then once you find your sweet-spot, when you’ve discovered “your way”, live your life without apology. Yet, be kind to those who may continue to judge you. Wish them all the best and hope for them to find “their way.”

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health Topic List.

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
