What To Do When You’ve Got Nothing Left To Give?

My little encounter with the Lyme disease tick triggered a series of events that have left me physically wiped out; nothing left.  Anybody hungry – call for a pizza! Oh, it’s breakfast time – oh well!  Mom left for Singapore……….I might as well have.

Aside from sleeping and dealing with symptoms, it’s been a good time to slow down and really look at myself, where I am going, what I want, and to take time to learn, bolster myself for coming storms.  This is all part and parcel for success on the Internet, so they say – but I think it’s more than that.  It’s what it takes to be succesful in life.  To take these times when life absolutely FORCES you to stop, when you have no choice and use that time to recharge.  To recharge the body, soul and mind.  I’m afraid the relationships will have to come later because I haven’t been very communicative – physically unable to do so.

So this has been a really great time.  There are so many blessings in absolutely eveything that happens to us, even if they appear – at the very least, inconvenient.  Sure, I hope that all the health issues clear up, but for the time being I stopped hitting myself over the head for not making videos (the guys are lucky – they don’t shave, throw on a baseball cap and old tee shirt and make a million dollar video.  I haven’t seen any successful women doing that yet!

So, no videos; too my fog in the brain to write insightful articles.  So, it is time to take in.  I learn from my free educational sites, the paid ones, and the books I’ve purchased.  I rest, eat well, pray and meditate and draw closer to who I am.  That old saying rings true – I am a human BEing, not a human DOing.  I don’t know if this happens to you, but I’ll seek any way out of that box that wants me to stop and sit in it – I’ll dig for any hole, any way out until I finally surrender and say – OK, I’m out of the game.

But, ironically, that’s when I really get into the game because without these rest stops, these points of spiritual recharging – I will just whirl out of control.

So now, I think I’ll read some Scripture, grab a little something to eat and perhaps go to bed early.  What a concept.  Especially, since I am happy with the whole state of affairs.
