I’m going to start off today with a few little things before getting into the blog. I hope all you readers are doing well as these many holidays are fast approaching near the end of the year. A quick honorary mention needs to be written about last week concerning the post on redemption and revenge. I cannot believe I left out WMVII. After all, had it not been for the “Macho King’s” interference with his scepter, UW might’ve still been the champ. I know, I know it was all planned~~~ but loyal readers may recall my post where I discussed that 1991 Royal Rumble against Sergeant Slaughter. It was called “ The Stories We Tell” on 7/19/23. Sarge told a little different story as that became a rant of mine! Anyways, UW got his revenge with a win at that Career Ending Retirement Match. Redemption for sure. ☺️
The next topic is yet again about a pic. The one below today is just a random shot, but I left my blinds in the background. I could’ve used my other DVD player to avoid the blinds but decided to keep it in as is. I think it’s funny and I am not an editing queen!*** Well, now that those two convos are over, I’ll move on. Did you ever just feel like it’s the calm before the storm? How about if your metaphoric plate was full, got emptied, and then super full again. Yep, that’s me right now. I guess life is like that but why is it always like 1 million things on that plate? 😩
I’ve been feeling under the weather lately and so has my family. I’m actually not overwhelming myself with holiday shopping that much but other things creep their way in and remain for a while. I do like to stay busy but then more stuff gets added to the plate, which makes me scream! UGH!!! My daughter has decided to change colleges in order to commute and go locally. So, we need to get her car before the semester begins mid January. At least the kids won’t be rivals anymore. She just isn’t happy but in a few years after we move, she’ll resume her studies where she started and get her degree. I thought she may last the entire year there, but it isn’t meant to be. *** Before that, I do hope for positive vibes as we are hosting Thanksgiving this year and she needs the other family support. We also have visitors that haven’t been here in years~~~ my sister’s family, who recently moved back here in the summer. They were here for the graduation party but not inside for a holiday. The calm before the storm indeed…
We will be going to my niece’s wedding the week before Christmas in Tennessee that my husband and I will be attending. I haven’t seen some of my brothers kids in years so I’m looking forward to those reunions. Again, though~~~ some can cause drama so I can only hope it all goes well. I am slowly taking off from the plate, piece by piece. My girl also gets her wisdom teeth out over winter break, 🦷 my son starts a new job that he’s super excited about, and my mom will be turning 80 Christmas Eve. I will definitely need some calm after those events.
Phew, let’s talk about a wrestling career. I know the guys had little calm or downtime as their plates were always full. It was just their lifestyles which they chose for themselves. Sometimes, it takes years before any of them~~~ like Warrior would be able to enjoy a much less full plate 🍽️ and less of a storm if you will. I do better with a few things at a time or my anxiety goes into overdrive. It’s this time of year but also other family stuff called life. I love much about the Holidays but the people you spend your time with matters. Sometimes, it’s a struggle but I tell myself that I do enough and that’s it. We have to be ourselves whether others agree or not. Warrior was all about that for sure and it’s something I need to remember always, no matter what is happening around me.
I also get affected by cosmic energies, whether any of you readers understand that or not. My shifts are happening and it’s all for the good but that is why I seek the energy work. I feel lots deeply and need to remember as well to not give my energy away to just anybody. It isn’t healthy for my systems. You might be confused by this and that’s OK. Just know it is part of my journey and one I need to keep healing. I had the calm, but then another storm started brewing…
Our plates will never be completely empty all the time warriors and that’s how it’s supposed to be. We do need to find the balance though or our bodies and minds will tell us. Sit with it for a bit as I’ve said before and I’m doing that too. We have to believe all will work out for us and have that intuition to know it’s true. What do you do when things seem to overwhelm or your plate is overflowing? I hope you can find the calm despite some storms possibly coming on the horizon. Be the warrior you were meant to be, which is to fight with all that you have~~~ always.
Even if it’s just for a few moments, get a little time to calm and declutter that plate. There will be storms, but it’s all in how we handle it, right? I am grateful Warrior finally found his calm which is what he truly needed, we all do. Do what you can and know it’s enough, even with this busy or chaotic holiday season. Stand your ground and tackle that plate one day at a time. Tell your mind that it’s OK to be calm and it will eventually listen. Get that warrior strength and never let it go. It will stay with you through all of life storms…
P.S. Here’s my ‘91 Royal Rumble Rant!
