Learning How To Play!
Dear Mark, I enjoyed your meeting!! You are so right;as a Dr. told me “You don’t know how to play!” No,I did not know how to play as my Mother always had us little girls cleaning,cooking, doing laundry,while she and Dad ran a business. I studied hard in school so I would get a scholarship;I knew that was the only way,I would get to go to college. I attended a Voc-Tech of Practical Nursing right after HS;then spent 37yrs doing that. I discovered alot of hard work,marriage,children added to that was alot of work. I’ve tried to find an occupation to get me off this social security;something I’d have fun @!!!! I love antiques;so I attend alot of Estate sales,hoping to find something very valuable. I end up buying things and bringing them home that I think will become valuable. I also tried Voiceovers;and a radio worker had me do a CD with my voice recorded. I impersonated Katherine Hepbrem,did an Irish skit,and did a comic strip out of the Sunday paper!!! It was alot of fun;we sent it to LA Voiceovers and I got 60,0000 hits. However I never got picked!!! I was hoping to do an animated cartoon character!!! I’ve also,thought of running my own website either with antiques,personal shopper, or selling Evolv nutritional products and see if I could become wealthy @ one of those. I loved nursing,however it took a toll on my feet and knees. So,I can’t stand long periods on my feet anymore;no more 16 hr shifts. I do need to learn to play,since I’ve been on social security,I’m really trying hard to do something fun,that would give me that euphoria,too. It’s hard to live on this income,too. So it’s hard to invest in something;when I don’t feel as if I have the money. I loved Miss Annabelle;I couldn’t put the book down. It was so good. I’m also BiPolar and got sick in my 30’s,my marriage didn’t last either!!! He had the best lawyer;I really lost alot,I tried to keep my children;managed to keep one. He tells everyone that his Mother taught him how to work!!!! He has been quite successful with his business;but I don’t think he knows how to play either!! I’ve told him,not to work so hard,take Saturday’s off,you need a life. Get a secretary,I don’t know how you work,answer the phone,and keep up with everything. He got a secretary;now she had to quit and move with her husband’s job. So, he”s back being the secretary,too. My oldest,Son I believe inherited my illness;he denies it and says I don’t have what you have Mom. However he see’s a psychiatrist,too and takes Xanax when he needs it. He’s alittle jealous of his younger Brother being so successful,too. I don’t know how to change things with them. They are total opposites. Well, I told you so much;I enjoyed the Level One. and will review Vision One and Two. Thank you,I don’t know how you found me,to have me join this Neothink Society!!! I’m ready for some changes,tho The Best, Gale S.
