FEELING Overwhelmed

I have to remind myself that it is just a feeling, not necessarily reality and in this case I am the only one who is making me feel this way. Some of you know I missed the first two weeks of December (right before Christmas break) of work due to the issues with my arm, shoulder and back. I haven’t caught up from those absent days. Add in the few days (I think 4) I have missed in the first three months of 2025 – and the work just piles up.

The piles and piles and more piles of TEALs (psyche folders needing to be processed) keep growing. I think sometimes they reproduce in the dark of night. They don’t bother my boss, coworkers comment occasionally “that’s a lot of TEALs” as they drop the mail (more TEALs) at my desk and we joke about they are my “job security.”

They bother me! When I see the stacks growing and g

rowing again I think people think I am not doing my job. That is such a FALSE statement and I keep plugging along. I remind myself, since the beginning of the 24-25 school year I have processed over 1045 TEAL’s! And I remind myself, one step at a time or in this case, one TEAL at a time!

Well, the alarm just went off, so time to get ready to go face the stacks and stacks of TEALs! And remember it’s only feelings, not TRUTH, and that I am loved and liked by many and one of them being my boss – so I am okay, I am enough!!

If you think of me today, whisper a prayer for that wonderful PEACE that Poppa God showers on us, we (I) just have to ask Him to surround me in the peace.
