Just recently I’ve noticed a change in people… This is with friends, relatives, work colleagues, people on the net and other acquaintances.
I’m going to be blunt here, because this includes nearly everyone and even people I don’t know very well.
Lately people have been working their proverbial butts off and this is fine. For many of you, you’ve been getting ill with throat infections, the dreaded flu and of course the common cold.
Yet few are taking time out to either rest and very few to recuperate.
I will tell you something now that our governments won’t – THE RECESSION IS OVER!! In the UK it was over months ago and if you don’t believe me, just go and look at how many trucks are on the roads! The bottom line is this regarding the so called recession – if the trucks aren’t rolling, there’s no business 
going on and right now there is so much business that the company I work for simply can’t cope with demand.
So what am I saying? You don’t have to go made working so damned hard – especially when it starting to become detrimental to your health and it will catch up with you.
I’m not looking to get into and argument here, I really don’t know or need to know what financial planning skills you lack or have – but you must start to remember why you go to work!!
The bottom line is that we do so in an attempt to make our lives better, so we can enjoy ourselves and if a few of us are lucky enough – even retire early.
So ask yourselves, is your work making or creating a situation where you’re truly enjoying your lives? I guess not – because the day you put work before yourself and your family, you’ve missed the point entirely.
Take time out when ill, take time out just for yourselves, not for just family vacations where you end up doing all the work and running around after others – but for YOU!!
Learn to be able to sit in a place that’s your own and just chill and not do a thing, be happy with yourself. The other contradiction but something of vital importance and it is playing as hard as you work.
Work is about making our private lives better, to give us peace of mind when not there – use this and take the stress away.
YIPPEE I am going on holiday next week!!! NO NOT FR@#*E.
Hi WKD, where are you going?
Hi JennyK Hope you are well. We are not going far, just to a really nice hotel with spa and all that to have a total relax.
A spa? I so feel like I’m missing out on EVERYTHING here
I’m so jealous!
OMG!!! WKD, I’ll buy you a ticket to Fr**ce!!
Oh (sigh) how did this blog get so girlie?
Mood = hanging head in despair and self indulgent sorrow)
Oh I am so sorry but its jolly girly fun isnt it.
I have missed this. I apologise for my absence.
Oh pay no attention to him WKD. Where have you been anyway? I had to keep a low profile for a bit too.
Just seem to have been extra busy (work and play) All good though.
ooo, anything interesting, I only ask because it takes so little to shock TWB,though I’m never sure if he’s really shocked as he’s had a bit of a life.
Sorry not very interesting. we extented the chicken run, the rams went in with the ewes, a couple of parties and outings, and many other things too dull to mention.
Oh, but a least you have something cool to look forward too, with the spa.
I think parties are kinda boring these days too, I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older or I’m just partied out.
And don’t underestimate how busy and interesting your life sounds to this city girl
Getting back to the main point of this post – please do not think or assume that there is any genuine heartfelt care here, it’s more a case of suing you’re ass if you cost me a day off work, because you came to work Ill and gave something to me – which in this would be WKD, but I hardly see her (or her stickers)
Thanks, you almost spoiled this one for me with your last comment… however, I did need the reminder of playing harder, I seem to have fell into a rut.
LOL – like I’m gonna sue anyone
