Bundle up Extremes

While running errands Saturday

the hubby decided he'd like to eat at a steak restaurant

I'm still not able to eat many foods but figured I'd try soup

Foolishly though I forgot that for now I have a sensitivity to meat

specifically meat that is cooking

Needless to say I didn't last long

There was nothing I could eat on the menu

And the smell of meat was making it hard to breathe

I tried to ignore it but the hubby said my eyes started to dilate

So he sent me to the car while the waitress packed his food to go

 Sitting alone in the car I felt sad for a moment as I realized things are different

My life isn't the same anymore; my thinking is even different

But it doesn't feel 'final'...I feel the transition and I am ok with it

I just have to keep reminding those around me that I am still morphing

~ ~ ~

I've been listening to everyone complain about the cold

and remember how everyone complained about the heat

I hear people complain about work and then about lack of work
Complaining isn't bad so long as it doesn't consume...it's an observation

Whatever it is...the comments are usually about the extremes

The extremes prompt change

The extremes have a tendency to put a strain on things

Not many people like the discomfort the extremes present 

But the extremes also have an amazing ability to bring out the best in someone

People tend to rally together; they help one another; they're not as selfish

The extremes can be external or internal

they show us what we are made of

they expose the good and bad and expose our true strength

and like everything they are not permanent

I'm going through an internal extreme right now

and I find that it's easier to deal with the changes by floating along with them

Because on the occasions I fight it, I sink

Instead I listen and tweak along
I'm going with the flow watching not to bang my head on the rocks
(smirk)

I also realize my extreme has created little ripple extremes for others

but I can't control that and they'll just have to float alongside me

or 

I may just morph into something they won't like

 LOL! KIDDING!
