I don’t know about you

I don’t know about you but when I feel overwhelmed I can’t cope with more than one person/animal speaking to me.  Well, actually, when I’’m writing and am in the middle of a flow, I don’t want to stop either!  Because sometimes if you leave it and come back to it, the spark of the piece has gone and it becomes lifeless and flat.

Another thing I have noticed is that when I’m in more pain than usual I tend to get irritated really quickly,  It’s not the fault of the person or animal that I am getting frustrated or cross.  THEY are not the reason for it.  The pain I am in or whatever is annoying me is definitely not their fault nor their responsibility.

But sometimes, just sometimes, I find myself shouting before I realise and I know it’s not fair to the other person or animal.  Once I have realised I apologise to them and try to become more aware of my reactions.  I didn’t want to bring up my family shouting at them.  I wanted them to live in a peaceful home.

However much I try to keep the household tranquil and try to keep things on an even keel, there are times I slip up.  With my health decline recently I have found I become overwhelmed so much more quickly and easily.  

TREASURE

But just because I am not so good right now, that doesn’t mean I have a right to get cross at others in the house.  I want this to be a happy family and so I need to be sure to keep an eye on my tone of voice and how loud I am.
