Every now and again, we all wake on the wrong side of the bed (not
for the reasons you are thinking) and a little grumpy. (Not me of
course! Coz - I may have emitted in previous writings that I am perfect,
he he.) Yes, we all have emotions that come and go and, sometimes it is
best to be left alone for a while, while you get over it. However, I
feel it is better to slap up the 'do not disturb' sign to give yourself
time to sort through it, rather than not telling those around you, you
want 'me' time. Not everyone is a mind reader! (Again, one of my
forte's best not mentioned is that I may have a bent for reading too much
into it.) But let's talk about someone else for a while. Let's talk
about those who aren't as gifted as moi.
Having
established that you want to be alone for a while, allows others to get
their thought processes in swing. It allows them to know that it will
pass. It is just a process you need to go through at your own pace.
It allows them, if they are spirited thinkers, to develop strategies as to why you got into that space in the first place. If they
realize they were the catapult for your 'me' time, they can get their
excuses and defense ready, before you fire the first shot as to why they
got you there in the first place.
If you
are not following me at the moment, this is how my partner and I were
this morning. Simply by communicating our feelings we could have
avoided an afternoon of our game of 'guilt ball'. For those who don't
know, 'guilt ball' is a game where the Ice Princess defends her castle
from any intrusion. Prince Grumpy may have avoided this game, if only he had
erected the 'do not disturb' sign before he tried to enter her realm.
Sort of like a game of ice hockey but (after his quiet treatment
without explanation) his puck would be battled and never enter the goal
posts until he developed a better game plan.
Therefore,
for those who do not want a game of 'guilt ball' communicate your
feelings to those you love. Get your game plan into action. Advise the
other team of your delay of game, don't risk a face-off, don't risk the
penalty of game misconduct. If your plan is not to communicate your
game plan, then place your jock firmly in place. Know that your
biscuit may never enter the breezers and you may face a penalty that is butt
ending, forfeiting your game for a very long cold season.
Life
is a game we all play, despite my attempt to block the other players
goal, we all must play a part in the game. A game of ice solitaire can
be a rather useless, time wasting sport. In my way of thinking a team
of either two or more can give you more satisfaction if the game is played
with great sportsman etiquette and camaraderie.
Not
for one minute am I saying that communication solves all problems
quickly. It can be a very long game. But until it is solved a little
frost bite doesn't hurt anyone, as long as when the game is played you
unite as one in the club room and supply some warming cream and a tip or
two for the next game.
