Over the past two months my life has been somewhat on a roller coaster. I guess this is normal for me but cause of great anxiety for others.
First of all, I decided it was time to look for a larger facility for BodyOlogy to manufacture products to accommodate our wholesale customers and was burdened with all the banking paperwork associated with that. I really don't think now is the time for bankers to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars and you can tell when you sit at their desk LOL.Upon completing all the paperwork and numerous phone calls, we think we want to do something different. Call it tuition, I guess I am just a girl......
After that, my Mom became ill and we brought her from Rochester, NY to Huntsville for recuperation and to be with my family. When you are young, you forget to think about what it could be like during aging.Funny thing about her being with her is that all while she was ill, I was sicker. Tripping over what she ate, her meds, and she could not be happier as she talked to her hands, actually. My Mom has early dementia. In my normality, I would try to convince her to stop talking to her hands and she would quickly put me in my place and tell me that my hands talked to me everyday, telling me to over work. Funny ha?
Now my Judda (Mom) is gone home to be in familiar settings, with her regular doctors, and the rest of my family and I have been home taking a few mental health days but working my fingers to the bone, updating our websites. Tell me who is more normal?
As we approach the holidays I want to encourage everyone to manage your stress well. This is an easy time of year to become overwhelmed an find yourself ill. Take care of your self and relax.

Normal is Relative.... and how people react to situations is very different. You do what you have to do to survive. For example, I am currrently in a graduate program and my former advisor has given me the blues. He has made it really difficult for me to see a way out. The choice for many people in my situation would be to quit, and I have been told many times...."if it were me..." But i have just put in too much time and effort. I just can't see myself giving up after all the time and effort that I have invested. I just have to keep working abd talking to these hands in the lab so that I can finish what I have started.

You are right when you say that most offer the give up scenario. I encourage you to tie a new knot and hold on to your dreams.
Only a few are leaders, less are good followers, and even more find it difficult to work a path.
Work your path and enjoy the rewards!
