Bridge over (troubled) Water ...



Sweden summerholiday 2010

I´m having really big troubles these days with commenting on blogs or posting on my own blog. So maybe you can´t see the image above, I can´t!? :-)(   Well it was supposed to be a picture of my daughters standing on a bride over a lake in Sweden, the youngest one with a fishing rod. And I chose it to illustrate the post of today;

I don´t know about you, perhaps you are surrounded by good collegues at work? So am I - mainly, that is.. One of them (I don´t work with her every day though) is making my day into a night-mare. She is the kind of person, who can judge you just by looking at you with such critisism in her eyes, and such sharpness in the tongue. Whatever I say to her is turned against me, so I´ve decided to not say a word, which  also feels odd..!!

Then - when I was driving home from work today, I crossed a bridge, where the waves were big and green-grey with white on top of them. The sky was looking dramatic with darkgrey clouds, as if thunder was in the air - a perfect match of my mood after the day at work...  However, returning home, I felt suddenly felt SO blessed to be greeted by my  lovely family, who met me with warmth and interest, and where I feel absolutely loved, unconditionally. Not that we don´t have disagreements and arguements, of course we do. But just the fact of knowning, that tomorrow they will be there, and we´ll give each other a "clean sheet" over and over again - isn´t that worth more than all the treasures in the world?

Whatever happends, whatever obstacles appear, we can talk about them, have a laugh about them, or sometimes make a "theatre" about them; Today I somehow came into a discussion with my oldest daughter (14) about the role of psychologists. I tried to explain in what way one can get help from a psychologist (not that I tried it but have read a lot about psychology). Instantly I was into a "theatre play" with a couple visiting a psychologist, and acting the part of all three of them. My daughter thought it was a bit "scary" since it seemed so real, and I must have been immitating them quite well without knowing. Anyway, it all ended with lots of laughter, and the couple - who had considered getting a divorse - ended up understanding and loving each other again. Not bad, ah? LOL!!

So in case I get fed up with the woman at work, maybe I should concider opening my own counselling /coach /psychologist business - what do you think? ;-))

Have a lovely and loving day <3
