Realistic/Unrealistic

[caressa]

Seeing as Lin also used this word in the ABC's, I have chosen it for myself to work on today.

It is so important for me to be 'real' and be myself. It is also important to live in reality, and although I know it is often my reality and not someone else's, I must be open to the fact that others may not see things as I do.

It is unrealistic to think that everyone shall come to the same conclusions, have the same ideas and agree all the time, especially on all things.

It is important though for me to check my perspective and perception to make sure that I am grounded in the present and I know what is real, what is wishful thinking, and what is illusion (the way I would have them be).

I came here to post that..the coincidence that i used RARELITY as my ABC word just this morning.

Stayng with what is REAL...being realistic about my abilities, expectations, and what I see in others...helps me stay focused on wht i can and can't do. it helps ,me nto get overwhelmed.

I am happy to report that today was a real day and I got some long procrastinated tasks completed. This was accomplished by having a friend here, keeping me grounded and focused on the task. We enjoyed each other's company for five hours, got work done and I was able to cook her supper (mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken, brussel sprouts with vanilla ice cream topped with butterscotch sauce and whipping cream to make a sundae for dessert.

The reality was it was fattening but I didn't care, I ate it anyway!

Relistic/ Unrelistic.
Can I use fear in this? HMM?? the reason is that I say that is when home situations is in sorta choas but not really could be a choice of being relistic to solve a situation or making unrelistic choices to it. Usually brings on fear on my part of doing the "right" thing.
I hope I made sense...

Living in the moment helps us to face reality. I left on Thursday to go to my friend's and just got home this evening. I was too tired to come online when I got home. I also felt very overwhelmed with the chaos of my apartment with trying to pack in a space that doesn't allow for much moving around in. It is nice to run away from home, it is nicer to have a friend to run to, yet the reality is that if I don't stay home, I won't get moved.
