The Unconventional WOMAN

It seems like, these days, I find myself wanting to take a brake, more often than usual.

And, finding this prompt, really inspired me to say something about it!

Lately, I find it hard to “combat” all the negativity that surrounds various aspects of our day to day life.

I find myself not wanting to watch any news, especially Tv news, as they all seem to only show bad things, worst case scenarios, bad people, “bad” nature, all kind of diseases that were somehow normal at this period of the year, being presented as life-threatening…

I find myself having to resolve conflicts which seems to just grow from thin air or that have already been there, just waiting for the first occasion to show up …

I watch people around me just being orriented on finding a problem, a lack…instead of seeing the opportunities in the challenges and appreciating the diversity of all human beings.

And I cannot wonder…how is it that the vast majority just “accepts” this negative way of looking at things, as being the only one?!

How is it that you can be offended by someone in traffic, while your child is telling you how great of a day he had, laughing and singing, being just happy?!

I’ve found a peace of mind that I’ve worked hard for and, I just need a break from all the effort it takes for me to block these situations, because it’s too much of an energy consumer for me.

My mind is like the lake in this picture and this is the reason I would like my days to be just like the one She’s having…

So, let me “have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference”. -Reinhold Niebuhr

Ps: and yes, I’m so at ease, that I don’t mind not checking the gramar&spelling 😍🤷‍♀️!

Let’s just take a break!
