Tender moments from the teepee
12/1/2011 - Anne Mudd
“Not what you bear but how your bear it is what counts.” Seneca
I’ve been so undone with amounts of adversity, and I can’t tell you how sad it made me to have a life I lived fading out from underneath me, but it was. I decided that I was probably too old to put up with all this stuff; to undergo anxiety and depression and still absorb reality. But age had no significance in any of this. Attitude was hurt by possibly no regret for what I was saying; only I did regret my horrible attitude, my insane ranting and my foul language.
Mercy and precious reality climbed aboard and rocked me to sleep last night. And I have a personality that won’t let me endure the worst of life’s enjoyments. It’s taken quite a while to get back to the ‘must-be-me’ because I’m always the one to understand I can’t walk away from my self no matter how hard I try.
So, once again avid reading has brought me around to a me I understand, and I can thank this little quote for all the reasons talking to myself pays off sometimes.

Your blog spoke to me. I am a relatively ordinary person with few health issues, but I have failed at being grown-up, controlling my temper, and functioning age-appropriately this week. You are not alone, Anne. Just more aware of who you are. Yesterday, I didn't like who I was. Today I am better with accepting myself. I envy calm, positive people. Especially when I'm not one! So you've encouraged me to pull out the positive calm (the tiny bit) I have inside. I'll work with that. I just wish it were easier some days.

Just at the moment that I am most critical of me and desolate at the thought that there is to much work and too little time, a light goes on and I see the meaning of it all. I struggle with constant arthritic pain and have a balance problem....I have become the little old lady I tried to avoid. But this week, I got new neighbors, a young couple in their first home and they seem to think I am cute. And so, there are some roles to play....the occaisional tiger comes to mind and I intend to draw on the strength of the universe, the We universe, to keep it up.

Oh yeah, Christy, the insane ranting, along with all that other stuff, is me, really, just not a state of mind I enjoy. Well, that's not necessiarly so...it's expressive and to some point relieving when I'm at a loss for a more level head.

Again, Anne.. how you bear things.. and the strength you exhibit.. makes you one of my heroes. And the insane ranting makes no difference to my admiration. Well.. that's not entirely true.. I like that aspect of your personality.. I can relate to it. Rant on, sweet sister!
