Still Shocked By The Weekend: Shocked By Martha Davis And The Motels

Well the weekend has finally arrived.  The fact that I opened my eyes at around 9:00 am is proof of that since I usually get a heck of a lot earlier during week days. Still, even though it's a rest day it still does not give me any comfort.  This is because I'm still shell-shocked from what happened this past week.  How I feel is bests summed up in the song "Shocked" by Martha Davis And The Motels.

I thought things were going to go smoothly as planned and I looked forward to seeing a great victory.  Those hopes were dashed when I received a phone call late in the evening informing me that things have taken a bad turn.  I was so full of anxiety that I couldn't sleep and had left the house very early.  When I arrived, my deepest fears had come true.  This was confirmed late in the day and we all went home with heavy hearts.

Right now I face an uncertain future as the situation had gone from bad to worse.  Everything is hanging in the air as we try to make sense of the chaos that blew up on our faces.  In light of this development, I am considering my options on what I must do and will start taking the necessary steps to do it.  It's a rough year getting rougher.  Getting shocked doesn't help either.

Reminds Me To Empathized: Tables Turned By The Motels

I don't want to kick people when they're down.  That's because I know what it feels like to find yourself at the bottom of the barrel.  It's a very sick feeling and those who haven't experienced this are often the ones who think that they know everything and worst, preach a lot.   They're gonna feel a whole lot different when their world suddenly gets yanked under their feet and everything falls apart.  The song "Tables Turned" by The Motels reminds me to empathized with other's plight and not kick sand in anyone's face when they're down.

Like I said, I've been down that barrel a couple of times in my life.  It was the lowest of the lows and no matter how hard I tried to keep it together, things fell apart nevertheless.  It was like I had to keep my head hung low and I avoided a lot of people cause I didn't want them to know what happened to me.  Still, I was able to weather the storm because I didn't things to go down the drain.  Though I still have a long way to go, at least I was able to get some things back.

This doesn't mean that it won't happen again and right now I try and try everyday to make sure it doesn't.  That's why I can empathize when a dog has his day.  I know it feels and I do hope that these people make it out of that barrel.  I could never preach and look down when someone takes a hit because you'll never know when the tables will turn and you wind up in that situation. You won't be so high and mighty when you do.
