A journal to myself

(2016-10-26 16:01:40) 下一个
Days drag on each week. Almost every Monday, I look forward to Friday. Nevertheless, the time flies. It is the end of October, and soon Christmas songs will be on the air, and then 2016 will be over...
 
Last night, I woke up again in the mid night, and could not fall back to sleep till the early morning. Is it the mid-age syndrome? Or else, what is wrong?
 
Today after a simple lunch, I walked out of the building towards my car. The heat from the last week finally subsided after the storm. The air was fresh, and the wind and the gentle sunlight were caressing. It was perfect for a nap in the car. However, I just couldn't fall asleep.
 
Ziqiao was talking about the retirement life she dreams of in her blog. What about me? Who does not want to retire sooner, especially when you sometimes feel gloomy, like the recent weather? But are we ready?
 
Last night when my husband and I were taking a walk in the community, I said to him that I felt like myself living in a desert (in a sense, we are.). He turned around and asked, "what do you mean?".
 
I was silent. Yah, what do I mean? I don't know.
 
On the way, I ran into Shelley, a divorced Taiwanese lady in her 60s, who was carrying her groceries in the stroller. We greeted each other, and then I watched her quickly disappear in the corner. She had to rush home to take care of her 100 year old mom. Then I thought of Mr. F, who showed up twice lately in our Saturday night Bible study. His neck was all brown from the chemo, and he lost 20 pounds in four weeks. He said he had to force himself to drink a lot of water every day, and that turned out to be very difficult, as he can throw up easily. Foods are tasteless, and he just had to gulf them down. Alas!
 
Compared with him or them, what am I tried of? Faced with such an adversity, he is fighting back and does not give up. As for me, now with the daughter away, and parents both still being healthy on their own, I am actually in my prime years, until one day I am needed...
 
To that, I am telling myself, "Cheer up and enjoy the time!"

迪儿 2016-10-27 13:42:04 回复 悄悄话 回复 '暖冬cool夏' 的评论 : 当时刚换到现在这份工作，新工作的压力加上很长的开车导致失眠，不过很快恢复了。我的经验是别把失眠太当回事，这样容易恢复。

7grizzly 2016-10-27 12:36:49 回复 悄悄话 Lack of sleep must be it. Do some physical work to tire yourself out so you can get a good sleep. You should be fine. -- Dr. Grizzly.
迪儿 2016-10-27 11:43:23 回复 悄悄话 冬妹妹好，好久没有来留言。谢谢你在我博客里留下的温暖文字。看到你的疲惫和挣扎，心里觉得好痛。
我三年前有过一段挺严重的失眠经历，也熬过来了。现在还会有失眠，但不影响生活。希望可以帮到你，我们可以悄悄话私聊。
暖冬cool夏 2016-10-27 07:35:26 回复 悄悄话 回复“子乔”：谢谢子乔安慰，没事。我想是最近睡眠老是不好引起的。其实说到退休，我们现在这年纪退了，闲着也挺无聊。人生有时需要balance，需要自我调节。顺祝好！
ziqiao123 2016-10-26 23:02:02 回复 悄悄话 暖冬，我也常常会有莫名的忧伤，人的情绪是会受春花秋月、潮涨潮落的影响，很快就会过去的，快快开心起来吧。

Once-always 2016-10-26 19:07:51 回复 悄悄话 暖mm, Nice writing! I can feel your sentiments. It's the seasonal mood swing. 秋天总是伤感的，不过想想天凉了，可以穿上最喜欢的风衣，靴子，带上围巾，走在街上，心情也会飞扬的， 是不是？ 抱抱。
暖冬cool夏 2016-10-26 17:42:18 回复 悄悄话 谢谢新朋友淡然，这就快下班了。我想是因为没有睡好，上了一天班，眼睛都快睁不开了。马上会没事的，谢谢你的安慰！
