Pressure.

 

“Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you, no man ask for

Under pressure that burns a building down

Splits a family in two

Puts people on streets.”

If you have ever been under pressure, you know there can be many outcomes. Hopefully what transpires will be the one you fought so hard to achieve, but we all know it doesn’t always work that way.

Certainly we have had an overdose of pressure during most of 2020. If you feel you have handled it well, good for you…if not, a lot of us would understand. Here’s something to think about—-for some of us the pressure we have dealt with, and been able to handle, might rear its head after things have gotten back to normal. I really hope no one has to deal with this, but I do know after some very stressful times in my life, the symptoms came after the fact. I am just being honest.

But, there’s good news…the solstice has passed and from this point on daylight is on the plus side, that makes me feel even more hopeful.

I believe some of the greatest pressure I have encountered  during the past year has been heading to the grocery store and wondering if there will be toilet paper available. If you think I am kidding, you should have been at COSTCO on delivery day. You would have thought we had won the lottery….but all we could purchase was one large package and it had to last. How competitive was it? I actually saw someone approach another customer offering to pay for their toilet paper, his answer was “No."

For sure there will be other times of pressure in our future, but if we make it through 2020, we should be able to handle anything. If we can’t then let’s just say we will and be done with it.

The photo above was taken last year when sports were still around. Now it might appear what you see really doesn’t define pressure, unless you are afraid of aliens—but the real pressure is the man sitting in clear view. He’s the principal of the school—now that’s pressure. 

Thanks for stopping by.
