Turing Something Around and Taking a Step Forward
This past week has been extremely hectic, busy, and frenetic, especially at work. Yesterday, was one of the most highly stressed days I have experienced in the work force since I started this new job, and it seems as if my own passionate feelings about representing one of my clients got in the way of my own objectivity, and compromised my representation. Surely some of you know the feeling, or have had the experience of getting too much in your own way, or becoming one's own worst enemy? Well, this is what transpired yesterday, leaving me with a feeling of frustration, and making me physically and mentally wiped out. Henceforth, unable to think clearly, the kiss of death for Woman on the Verge of Thinking.
So what is the remedy and what does one learn when these challenges occur? Thankfully, today is a new day, the sun is beginning to peak its way through the sky, there is a chance to begin anew once again before the commencement of the work day. Thankfully, nothing stays the same, we all change, as do our circumstances, and what may present as a difficult issue one day, can turn itself around into a positive outcome the next.
All good thoughts are send out to everyone today, and a special prayer that there is some resolution to the release of the Israeli soldier today, unharmed, and that the fighting ceased.
Good Shabbos, have a great weekend, and a memorable 4th of July.
Thank you for your minds.

Have a great holiday, Barbara. You've been working hard, and you deserve it.
Sorry about yesterday, but your attitude is great! Today is a clean slate.
Best wishes and enjoy the weekend and holiday!
How could you not feel passionately about what you do?
I think you just accept that sometimes you will feel that way, acknowledge it and move on.
I would much rather have an attorney who cares too much, than one who doesn't care enough.
Hope your day goes better. Happy 4th!

compromising yourself by caring to much about someone just can't turn out badly in the long run. it's a karma thing. :)
Take a deep breath and start over. Like you said, Tomorrow is a new day. Hope you have a relaxing fourth of July weekend. Put on your music and just get lost in it.
Feeling the loss of control when your emotions lead can be a hindrance in executing a case, but almost always I learn something about myself if I pay attention when that happens.
Rabbit rabbit Barbara. It's a new day. A new month. A new chance. Be well.
good thoughts back to you barbara -and a happy fourth of july weekend
p.s. - even though you felt wiped out - it's wonderful you are so passionate..
have been thinking about you lately. Suddenly I realized it was a long time since I had visited you blog, and I wondered why. couldn't figure it out, and it's not important either. Ihave missed your posts though.
And I have been wondering bout your daughter. How is she?
Caring about other people is never a bad thing...
Today is a new day.....
Happy 4th.
Have a good fourth.
Great comments.
For me, it is doing with today what counts. A person can be truly made or unmade by virtue of what she/he thinks!
Amias has been highlighted in LIP (www.livinginpoetry.blogspot.com)
Fantastic news about Aminas!
I subscribe by "the unexamined life is not worth living" theory which means that sometimes I tend to overevaluate, which also means that I get in my own way at times. I think the best we can learn from these situations is when we need to slow down and take a look at exactly what it is we're trying to accomplish, and who we are helping or hurting in the process. If we're lucky, we haven't done too much damage. If not, there's always Haagen Das! I hope things work out for you! Good people should never suffer too long or too often. Thanksfully they usually have good friends to see them through.
Ahhh.. all things must be challenged so that they can grow only better!

Hi there.
Yes, I know the feeling you are describing all too well. Sometimes our clients seep under our skin and trigger a deeper empathic connection than others.....or the issues that they are dealing with for some reason are meaningful to us.....whether it is a value clash or something more personal.
It truly is mind and body draining when a compassionate heart supercedes the thinking brain.....
But, always keep in mind that any deep feeling interaction is a special and important avenue to self-learning. Your kindness too will never be forgotten by the client.
Hope your weekend allowed you to clear your thoughts, take deep fresh air breaths and shake it off.
Dana.
