Sometimes I am fine and feel peaceful and secure in the knowledge that it will all work out. And sometimes I wake up filled with sadness and wonder what the future holds. Sometimes I feel confident that I did a good job and sometimes I feel like the new person will come in a throw out all the things I did as rubbish. Sometimes I am excited for the future and sometimes I am just downright tired.
I know that I just need to sit with these uncomfortable feelings, that time will pass and it things will work out. I believe that I am employable and that I have good skills. I have loved my team with all of my heart and worked as hard as I could to support them. I believe in our work and I believe in our organisation. I am grateful for my employers for taking a chance on me and on the whole I've done ok.
In the meantime, spring is here. We have won the war on the chickens and now they are staying in their run and we can crack on with getting the garden planted. There are projects to sew and fruit to cook up for pudding. Worrying won't change things. Time passing will. While time is passing I have plenty of useful, down to earth tasks to keep my hands busy.
Oh the seasons of our lives aye! Working with my hands always gets me out of my head.
ReplyDeleteYes! It is so so good being out in the garden. Definitely good for the soul!
DeleteI like reading your thoughts on all things and feel you are resilient. I feel as though I am in a current state of something?? I have always been a prolific maker of things: sewing, quilting, beading, ceramics, woodworking, and gardening. Always busy. In the last three years with all the Covid related trials and the deaths of over twenty members of my close (brother-cancer) and extended family (from multiple causes) I can't seem to get back into anything. I look, sketch, plan and buy bits here and there but then nothing. I am hoping the passing of time will help me to be productive again.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is just your season to be. That's a huge amount for any one person to go through. Be gentle with yourself.
