WOW (Worn. Out. Woman)

TO: Scholars, Over-achievers, and Over-thinkers.  Why do you kill yourself with love and kindness? Because we know so much, because we seek to know more, sometimes we miss what's staring us right in the face. We miss it , because it's too simple, too small. We burn up kilocalories  frantically searching for the best way to do this or the best product, or the best service . We consult the most sophisticated search engines to find the quickest meal or party prep.,or the route to school functions or events that our significant others want us to attend. We go to college, hold jobs, are primary caregivers , we clean house, cook meals, do laundry, referee fights,arguments, games , family get togethers , etc., etc.,.WHY?  Because, although we know she doesn't exist we are on some MAD quest to be Super Wonder woman or Wonder Super woman! She's no more real than the Easter Bunny or you know who?!  Yet we toprture ourselves this way. You are ONE WOMAN , though we can do many of these things I say to STOP!!!..... STOP. You're setting yourself up for a major meltdown .  Albeit, we love them with all of our hearts and we want the best for them,  Lead with your Brain ,not your Heart. Always remember that they are a thankless lot !! (lol )  A love and energy guzzlingmonster. The more you do , the more they want you to do. The better you are at doing things the worse it's going to be after your breakdown/ meltdown. Trust me it can, and will happen to YOU.  When you're no longer there for them because it's all gone, you'll be there hoveling in the corner of the sofa with a blank stare, they will blame you for ruining their lives because they will have to do for themselves, the highlight of their day will be deciding what facility to put you in, so that you don't embarass them in front of people.  A challenging thought people;  If you're being Super Wonder woman , Whose taking care of your needs,wants etc., ???  DON'T FOOL YOURSELF, YOU DO HAVE some!!!!
