It's Just Habit

I tend to get quiet on the weekends most of the time... I try to keep busy when I have a whole day alone, but it doesn't always work out that way. I do have friends that call, but most of the time I end up being a sounding board for them. I'm okay with that. It gives me a chance to feel like I'm doing something for someone else, and I learn more about how other people have much more issues that I do. I am somewhat lucky in the way things go in my life. I don't have to worry about much of anything. I remember times in my life where I thought that just because I didn't have a close relationship with someone, that nothing substantial existed in my life. I have my kids, my health... and so much more. I really don't have to worry about anything other than what I choose to overreact to. I think that's the way it is with most people. Lots of people in this world don't have the ability to see the big picture. I also believe that most tend to overdramatize their issues because it's happening to them. Sometimes it's difficult to see outside of our own box. I have that issue as well, but I'm learning to try to have a better perspective. I was long-winded in my last post, but at the moment, I can't even remember what I wrote. I think many times I repeat things I've said in the past... but that's okay too. I know there are several people who probably look at what I write and think it applies to them... and seriously, it might! If that person has been a part of my life, I may involve my thoughts or feelings concerning them. It's pretty obvious if I am ... but if it's not obvious, it probably has nothing to do with anyone specific. I believe that a lot of my issues in dealing with people have occurred due to people who choose to take a statement and make his or her own interpretation of what I've said. I don't think I'm a cryptic person. I feel like I'm straightforward... I've mentioned "this person" or " a person who"... and I don't feel cryptic in that respect... but when I generalize a statement, almost always I'm thinking of several instances involving several different people. I had a decent holiday... cooked too much... been eating leftovers for days, and now I'm finally finished with them. I ate a bit much on Thanksgiving even though I had several people here to help me eat. I couldn't bring myself to call my daughters... until last night... I think they're indifferent to hearing from me... they never seem to reach out. I'm starting to retreat a little farther into WoW... I appreciate that I have a place to retreat to... I also have the site to post on.. I think that some things just become habit... like blogging... or even those that read my blog. I can tell by the traffic through here that some people must find it interesting... or maybe it's just a habit. We all do things without really thinking about them... just because we have done so for awhile... and now it's just second nature to do those things. I wake up early... even on days I have off... just because my body is used to it. Like so many other things... It's just habit.
