Time out

Sometimes it is just good to take a time out. 

And I thought that this time is a good time for such a time out, also, it is a time out :)

Better said, I decided to give a few people a time out.  Because I am tired.

I am tired, of reading the hate messages against people that have not vaccinated. 
I am tired, that people not understand, that I have problems with  an obligatory vaccination for everyone. I think that a democracy can not force everyone, to vaccinate. But I also think, that vaccination is the best way to fight against the virus, and any virus at all.

Anyway, as well as there are many anti-vaxxers,  who are blind for any compromise, there are as well people who blindly believe in vaccination.  Again, I believe in vaccination, but I have an open mind, I now and then can listen to arguements  of 'the other side'.

That all fits by my way of living. I listen, I look to all sides of the meddle. 
.
Now my point of view is... you can guess... MY point of view, and most people shall not agree with it fully.
When jpeople, who are very good in discussions, post a thing, and I react on it, like above, I was confrontated with a fanatism, that scared me very much. It is not a simple, I think you are wrong, but it is right away, well, we disagree, and a flood of sentiments come, not in facts, but in emotional  fears. I think that is it ,so many people are scared for the virus

Yes, I am scared as well  And I do NOT understand who is against the cure, the vaccination. And it scares me, very much, that people, who I consider as decent, considering people, react with the same agression as that the fanatic 'other side' reacts.

That are the people, that I want to give a time out. They mean too much for me to drop them off my FB friends lists, but  I NOT want to let me hurt by them.


 So, there is the silence. And it feels so good. Wow.. I love the peace in me, when I take distance from the behaviour, that is not doing me well.  I am grateful, that I not ended up, in communicating at the same level. Maybe you call me coward.  I call it, that I choose for peace in myself. My mental health is as important as my physical :) 

Time out.  But just for a very selective group.  :) I can recommend it!

 

Hamstern - Stock Piling

Reading the subject, I think that most of us think it is about toilet paper, those days, right?

Yes, we are restricted in our lives, the dark clouds hang above us and no one can escape.
Sh!t happens,  right?

So, my beautiful Toilet Roll Collectors, are you happy, now you have a stock for a few months?

And if so, what problem did you solve?
Was there a problem at all? Apart then for the people, who needed paper and could not get it?

Is it stock piling what you do?  I love the german word Hamstern so much more ;-)

The principle of stock piling is saving things for when you are not able to access it anymore.
For example, when you are ill, and you can not leave home, and you have no one around who can get your stuff for you.
So... why the toilet paper?
It was a run, but it is over now, and the shops start getting their normal stock again.
Why did you collect all those cans, all those water bottles (you can drink from the tap, you know!), and heaven knows what more?

I must agree, I have done some extra shopping as well. It was basically, because so many people are buying like crazy.  Look into the mirror.  Do you really want to tell your mom, or your children, that you were in the queue at 6 am to get toilet paper?  How do you explain it ?

The idiot who started buying a pallette of rolls, who was it?   Now the entire worlld is pampered with toilet paper, what's next?

People, be nice for yourself. Be nice for your wallet.  Yes, buy a bit extra. When you get ill, you may not leave your home for 2 weeks.
Ask for help, if you need it.  Yes, I know that that is the problem. There are many lonely people, who have no one to ask for help.
Don't be afraid to ask, if you need help.  You will be surprised what happens!  You have nothing to loose, right?

Care for your neighbour, maybe he or she is the one who needs your help, and can't go out for shopping herself.   How should you feel, if you offer help, and you can not get the item that the other desperately needs?
Would you share your stockpile with them?

Think about it.  The time to think 'me first', is definitely over.
The time now is, together we can!  And we will!

Take the challenge, not the paper work!

Saturday. 
A two days weekend.
Can you imagine, how happy I am?

Still no trace from that document...😑😑

Very positive ... A lot of sun☺
A message from my daughter 😍😍
After shopping (what is not fun, those days)  there was market 😊
I avoided it, of course, but it looked so familiar 😄

A little walk on a bright and cold day
Waiting for dinner for two
Almost ready

Tomorrow I really  must find the document.

the ohh and aahhh and ommmm

I think we all know the days that we think 'meh', or that we love to ignore the alarm and hide under the blankets, until it is over.

Days that we feel weak, days that we are not happy,  when we think all is wrong. 
It is normal, natural, and for all healthy, to be weak now and then, your body, your soul, screams for attention when it doesn't get enough.

Most people, at work, at social media, do show an attitude, in what they (want to) get attention.  A smile, a joke, always being positive, the best photos, the best of everything.  If you follow that people, they are everywhere around us, you see a contineous line from happiness, lucky moments, and all that jazz.

It looks like we are ashamed of being weak, now and then. It looks like no one dares to show his/her real emotions. 
Recently, in a training, I saw someone crying.  That is.. there were some tears in the eyes. 
Of course it was a touchy situation, I do not mind tears, I think they are a good expression, just as laughter.  If I cry, I cry fully.  Complete with a running nose, sounds and tears.  So many people do worry more about their make up, then about what is really going on in their soul. 

I think it is important that we now and then show our weaknes. My own experience is, that at  the moment that you show that you are weak, when your emotions bubble up, that you open the people around you as well.  Many people say that they can not handle emotions. I think that that is wrong, we all can, we just need to trust, and not being afraid.  Not being afraid to show it, not being afraid to say, hey, I know what you feel, I have a shoulder, and an ear...
Showing the real you, the real emotions, gives others a possibility to open theirselves as well.

Tear off the mask, and dare to show people who you really are.  Your weakness will turn out to be your strength.  You will use your emotions, the way they are meant to be. To show the real you. To be who you are. Imperfect perfection.

Don't be afraid to show it, you will see that you are not alone!

what is democracy?

what is democracy
when you simply exclude press that asks questions that you don't want to answer?
What is democracy
if you not allow any words that disagree with yours?

The world knows that most Americans do NOT want that. The world knows that there are many protests, even when we do not see them.
The republicanic party should think very, very much, about the direction they want to go in. Can they control their leaders? Or is it already too late?
