As I sit and think about My busy week with DomCon and this series; I am confronted with a challenge in writing this weekly series. The article that is resounding with Me is about taking the time and effort to appreciate those around you AND to let them know NOW. Not tomorrow NOW.
I find that I am pushing things and people off until NEXT week; basically saying that I am too busy to deal with the ones that I care about and hoping they understand. I trust that they will as I would do the same for them. But really? Is this the best way to be? We cannot be perfect (even Doms) all the time . . . we can reflect on our actions and see if they make sense for how we want to live our lives.
So:
What things do you expect people to understand and get over?
What things do you get over for a friendship or relationship?
Are the spoken or unspoken rules?
Do others involved have the same idea? Are you SURE?>
Do these things make sense?
When was the last time you TOLD someone that you cared?
What would you give up for a friend or family?
TO ALL . . . THANK YOU, YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

I think everyone is guilty of pushing things away, whether they be actual jobs, duties or people. Often it seems people rationalize this behavior by telling themselves they are so busy, they just have to prioritize their life. Assuming everything will get done and the the people they care about will understand.
Unfortunately what usually seems to happen is that our lives simply get busier and our relationships tend to suffer and even fall by the wayside.
The better course of action is probably to let the jobs and duties wait since they certainly will be there when we find time to deal with them and make time to focus on the people and our relationships every single day.
How true. Tasks are not the important thing; relationships are. Losing site of that can be a problem.
