Thursdays feel like Fridays

Curiously time stood still when I entered this old bookstore filled with dusty old books with a dusty old man inside. He didn’t even try to sell me a book he hide behind the stacks until I left which was fully an hour later but the clock hadn’t changed. #timestoodstill #oldbookstore https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFUNvUuRYn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Let me tell y'all, I was hustling today. Busy, busy, busy. Pam this, Pam that. There just wasn't enough of the Queen, to go around today. I was waiting for the elevator to go home, when it suddenly occurred to me.....I had not peed since my morning break. I high-tailed to the bathroom. I gotta tell ya, I was in that stall a good 20 minutes! Whew! 😳 🌊 #talkabouttakingaloadoff #whewchile #igottago #timestoodstill #pam #covermeimgoingin #tmi #ohwhatarelief #howlongyougonnabeinthere (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK3ELMUlREl/?igshid=16nuss9atk2f8

How does everyone deal with Trauma?

This year has been a traumatic time for some! losing loved ones to covid, losing jobs, feeling alone. Suffering from anxiety and the list goes on and on and on (its endless almost). Time seemed to stop all of a sudden with no warning given. A virus that stopped the nation and led us into lockdown. The fear in people of the unknown. What's going to happen next I wonder? Will I catch the virus? Will I need to bulk buy in my local supermarket? All these questions running round in our brains, wondering and waiting. The fear that gripped people led to chaos, led to unusual behaviours that almost showed the worst in people. Where did this all come from? How did it happen? Why did it happen? Who was behind it all? The people asked. Still no idea what was ahead of them. Will things ever get back to normal? Maybe not. Maybe the new normal is now. We don't know, we can only hope! Maybe its time to change, do we really want to go back to the old ways? Or do we want to start a fresh begin a new life full of love and laughter, a sense of community, going back to the simple way, not having multiple choices of multiple different items. To start supporting independent shops, who during this time struggled away trying so hard to keep things open, so that we could continue our everyday lives in the most bizarre way imaginable.

What will our grandchildren, great grandchildren, people who will come after us have to say. Will they say what heroes and brave people we were? Or will they turn around and say we could of done things differently. That we didn't handle it very well. Maybe these are questions for ourselves to answer. What could we of done differently? How could we of coped better?

For me time had stopped, my running around all over the place had stopped. I was able to be still in amongst the chaos. I found my safe haven when everything around me was falling all around me. I managed to enjoy the time I had with my mum and dad. Time (that if this never happened) I might not of had. Precious moments of my life that may never happen again but at that time were lovely. I felt as though this was the world's way of saying hey, we need to start being still. To start looking after ourselves, to stop and smell the flowers once in awhile.

Time is a precious thing, once it goes its gone. Thats why its soo important to find out what fulfills us in life, that in the last days of our lives we won't have any regrets. That we will sit back and say I achieved everything I wanted. I loved with all my heart. I laughed, I cried, I learnt. That we can look back with a peace that everything will be fine and to step back when things get to much. ❤
