I have to try, just because

This week has been extreme hard on me, the physical and mental demands of keeping up has been rough.

Moving Difference is a part of me, a big part over the summer and littler parts over the rest of the year. There are many parts of me that people don’t see.

The hours on the road, the hours at the computer or on the phone or both or all or the hours next to someone talking and helping are just part of everything.

Well, I am human and today I broke…I cried – actually it was more like sobbing in a chair in front of a computer for twenty minutes without a napkin.

It wasn’t a pretty sight.

 

I looked a fool and still look a fool as I write this dripping snot.

I don’t know why I care so much about Moving Difference or the world or even my neighbors…. except that I have to try .. just because…

It is something in me that I have to do, and I struggle, I suceed, I fail and I try again. Over and over again.

I look around at the last few weeks and what Moving Difference has quietly done, it did it just because.

 In this moment, I feel like a huge failure, I can’t get to everybody that needs help, and I can’t even help myself with lunch, I am so far behind and struggling… even the people that are helping this year with the emails are overwhelmed….

Moving Difference is a living breathing thing….which we are all thankful for….but there are moments of personal failures and not enough hours in the day….

Now I feel like a fool having cried, and I found a napkin so my face is swollen but dry, and my blackberry which I had conveniently thrown in the bottom of the trash container is now ringing…. hold on….got to get it….

Okay – I am back – Ironically it is a telemarketer….

I guess I write this to all of you out there to show you that we are human, we have limits and moments of overwhelm. I know that I do, I am not superhuman.

So if you are struggling on whatever is happening in your life, know that you are not alone –

I know the feeling, and I am going to do the one thing that I am good at – try again – just because…..

You are welcomed to join me if you wish.

It isn’t easy, but then again what is…

Phone is ringing again and I got to go, lots of activities this weekend and hopefully some time to write and have a home-cooked meal….. keep OUR chins…

P.S. This doesn’t mean I don’t LOVE Moving Difference, I do LOVE it!! Every day, in every way and even in these crazy moments of life……

All done – Thanks Summer 2012!

If you are visiting here, then you should know that the Moving Difference project is all done for the summer 2012.

Even the Facebook sites and twitter have been put out to pasture – and that is all good. We are leaving this for archival purposes mostly.

We did what we set out to do. Be a moving difference…62,854 hours is a great achievement for this summer.

Each and every hour is appreciated and each & every hour counts.

One hour at a time to 62,854 hours that is wonderful and awesome!!

I still thank each of you and I still am amazed by this entire project.

I truly thank you!!

Here comes the tough part, with all things there is an end.

This is the end of Moving Difference for Summer 2012.

It is part of life to move on, and it is part of life to be proud of what was achieved this summer.

I shall always remember this summer and now it is time to say take care of yourself, give forward if you can and always remember to be a moving difference!!

TTYL down the road!!
