The Living Journal of Iris

My name is Iris. I am the wife of an amazing Husband of 17 years. The mother of four wonderful girls (all grown and gone.) And 12 even greater grand children (moving ever so fast towards adulthood.)

No,life is not a box of chocolates it is more like this huge roller coaster and we just roll with the twist and move on. You cannot control people or things, only how you react to the person or situation.

Having Fun

  Sometimes you just have to be a good sport and cut loose.
  In today's rush rush, hurry hurry society we find ourselves at times wishing for a few moments.  A few moments where we don't have to worry with bills, kids, phones, or the ever growing to do list.  A moment where its all about loosening the chains we have created for our selves.  Letting go of the day to day stresses and transforming ourselves into a new character even if for a brief period.
  We tend to lose who we really are when what everyone else wants, becomes more important than ourselves.  When their problems become ours because we feel the need and make a choice to become involved in their crisis without even thinking about ourselves.
    I have been working on myself for a couple of months now.  When i can't get other peoples drama or business out of my head.  I sit back in a chair, close my eyes and picture a room with a trap door in it.  Then i picture that person or thing, then i picture myself opening the trap door, tossing them out and closing the door.  ( Looking down my trap, it is dark and makes this really loud sucking sound. I love this sound.)
Now you have to look around that room and make sure nothing is lurking and if there is get rid of it also.
  Now go have some fun.  Get a silly hat or wig.  Wear something that would mortify your family.  Just whatever you do enjoy it. 

Until next time Have a wonderful day.
