I would just LOVE to push the pause button of my life right now! But because of obligations to other people in my world, I will go ahead and put that happy face on and pretend all is well. I vented in deb's thread, so I do feel better. Perhaps if I act as if everything is alright, it will magically become alright! Anyone else a slave to obligations he/she has?

No matter who it is or where they are, everyone has obligations. Obligations to family, friends, children. Those are about the only 3 I can come up with. These are endless encounters that happen on a daily basis. That's just the way it is.

I know sometimes I find myself playing so many different roles in life. Mother, daughter, friend, Accountant, etc. etc. all of the sudden I forget (or don't have the time) to just breath and be ME...if you will.

I'm really thinking that if I could push the pause button, I'd leave it there way too long and my life would pass me by. I'd want to push the FF button way too often, and the slow-mo one too often as well. OK, it's a well known fact that I cannot be pleased. Now I am convinced of it myself! Ahhhh, the harshness of the cruel truth when one sees ones self through honest eyes!!!
