People judge a good day with what is beyond our control. A customer who is having a bad day comes through and decides to share and try to wreck our day also. A friend who is moody and decides to share and wants you to join her in her misery. Why is keeping it real only about your bad self? Why is any exclamation about I want people to know the real me is only about leading with your rotten angry foot.
If everyone's bad-ass attitude is driving you nuts including your own, the one thing to keep in mind while everything is so cram packed and jammed together is to remember that it won't be this way forever. It will change. It will change with the season. It will change with the age of your kids. It will change with the age of your parents and siblings. It may not change for the better or the worse but it will change. It matters if the kids are toddlers or if they are in school. It will change when they start driving on their own. Your own activities will change. Your job may change. If the place doesn't change, it will change as you climb the ladder or make a lateral move or your leadership will change. So as bad as things are, remember that it won't be this way forever. Give it about 3-5 years.
This blog will be taking a look at some other things that can be done without shoving some things aside and making some room for it. I've got a series I'm going to start posting. We'll see how it goes as I haven't even kept up with weighing myself and posting it every day. That is another blog post... So anyway right now just wrap your head around the fact that IF you are staring down the tunnel of a lifetime of permanence, that it is not permanent. Be okay with it. Be comfortable with it. Even if it seems permanent, something inside of that permanent feature will change. Don't fear it. Don't grumble about it. No ya buts, ands, or ifs. Just okay.
