Is It Just Me—trying to “let go of crazy“ during these uncertain times?
As a counseling supervisor I warned my interns when the threat of pandemic began, “When a crisis like this comes upon us, you will find that counseling issues that have been buried deep within the hearts of your counselees, will suddenly rise to the surface.“ These were wise words! This has happened! This has happened for probably all of us who are in helping professions!
But I’m starting to wonder…
Is It Just Me?
- I have lost my purse and my keys more in the last month that I have in my lifetime!
Is It Just Me?
- All of a sudden, or not, when I create a title and record a live video and post said video, even after I’ve confirmed that it posted and re-watched the whole thing, I’ve come back to make another post and found that title sitting there in a unpublished post just waiting for me!
Is It Just Me?
- I’m stress eating and craving the weirdest things!
I’m trying to “let go of crazy“ during these uncertain times!
Is It Just Me?
- All of a sudden, or not, the insurance company I’ve been with for 25 years and my husband has been with for 41 years, is threatening not to cover me and wanting me to prove to them that I’ve been covered by their company for the last two years when, surely, they are sitting on those very records themselves!
Is It Just Me?
- Email accounts that have worked well for me for the past 17 years are not sending emails and, also, not notifying me that those emails were not sent!
Is It Just Me?
- All of a sudden, I am not receiving my own newsletters or blogs when this has not been a problem for the last 14 years!
I’m still trying to “let go of crazy“ during these uncertain times!
Is It Just Me?
- Is the water service different too? I feel as if I am having to shampoo and rinse an extra time to really get my hair to shine.
Is It Just Me?
- Two printers at the office and one printer at our home are not working. Fred, ever so frugal, worked on them all for hours and just when we were ready to put them in the truck and get rid of them, the one at home started printing beautifully!
Is It Just Me?
- On the way home from the office last night, I found myself sitting at the stop sign waiting for the light to turn! Geez!
Is It Just Me?
- I just tried to encourage a fellow Christian Woman Entrepreneur whose Internet will work in her living room but will not work in her office to purchase a WiFi Range Extender and unplugged it so I could show it to her! Then I wondered why I got kicked out of my own Zoom room/lost Internet connection! DUH! “If I only had a brain!”
I’m desperately trying to “let go of crazy“ during these uncertain times!
What about you?
What’s driving you bananas?
What are you doing to “let go of crazy” during these uncertain times?
ON A POSITIVE NOTE: I hope it’s not Just Me – trying to “let go of crazy“ during these uncertain times?
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17 ESV
I hope it’s not just me!
- I am enjoying time with my family more than ever before!
I hope it’s not just me!
- I am, finally, learning to cook! Well, sort of!
I hope it’s not just me!
- I am leaning into the Lord and trusting our Sovereign God has His Hand on this surreal situation we find ourselves in.
I hope it’s not just me!
- I am praising God that most of my business and ministry was conducted online in the first place because it has meant fewer adjustments for me and for my clients.
I hope it’s not just me!
- Fred and I, after 25 years of marriage, are reconnecting in sweet new ways!
I hope it’s not just me!
- I have to pinch and remind myself of what I have accomplished every week over this last month of sheltering in place; I’ve accomplished more than I did in the last quarter or maybe even two quarters!
I hope it’s not just me!
- I have been prayed over more diligently than ever before, and I have prayed for you more diligently than ever before!
What about you?
What blessings are you grateful for during these uncertain times?
