Working at ‘Royal Mail’
Illnesses (keeping me off work but giving me rest time and space to figure out what I want in life)
I like to tell you what's been happening in 'Sally's World', not to depress you or make you say....
"You're not the only one with problems in life"!! Get over it!!
....as I know I'm not and people have to put up with far worse than what I have to, but I tell you as I hope you can relate to what I have to say and maybe it helps, especially if you're a postie too or someone you know or someone in your family is x
Plus it also explains why I have been procrastinating too, I'm trying to learn to do what I want in life and not let my part-time job get in the way! As we posties know can be hard, when we get home, we feel too tired to do anything sometimes, we try not to sit down as soon as we get home, as we might fall asleep 😴
So people who have read my blog posts before know I have been a postie for nearly 18 years!! A lot of that time, off and on I have wanted to leave and do other things....
....like birthing 'The Spiritual Cabin' and figuring out in my own way how...
....I think I'm getting there finally now 😃 🤞
So as 2022 was fast approaching its closure, and the end of the year was getting closer and closer....
By the end of October, I hurt my right knee, wear and tear from the job I reckon....
I was doing 3 - 4 days' worth of mail and parcels a day, (the norm for a lot of us posties out there) my colleague I was working with at the time was off sick with a bad back, and at work being short-staffed had no one to help me with the day's delivery. It carried on like that for over 4 or 5 months and went over into the Christmas period as well.
Then one day, one Sunday I went to get up from my living room armchair, to be in agony, my right knee hurt so much it had seized up and hurt to straighten it, with me hobbling about trying to walk normally with great difficulty!! I went to the doctor and was off 2 weeks sick. Pulled ligaments in my knee, and I permanently have to wear a knee support to do my job now.

Got the Christmas pressure out of the way and at the start of 2023 I got the flu, so was off at least a week with that. This was when I started to think about what I wanted in life as I was sitting or lying there with no energy thinking to my heart's content what life could be like, I took notes, you could say I journaled on my thoughts as this can help to get it all out and release it from your mind x
Then, in the middle of February 2023, I got Covid, and I had to be off again!!
"What is going on here?" I thought as I lay in bed exhausted. Then when I started to feel well enough to get out of bed, I journaled some more, listen to podcasts, and thought about 'The Spiritual Cabin' some more....
It felt like something was trying to tell me something.... all of these things going wrong. I was never ill, I'd go years and years without being off sick from work and then I was off three times in a space of 6 months.
To me, it was like the universe or even the angels were trying to tell me something...
"Is this job for you..."
" you need a rest slow up"....
I was ill so I was forced to take time off to rest, to take time to really think about what I wanted in my life so I did and came slowly up with the start of the plan I have now for 'The Spiritual Cabin (see my latest Instagram and Facebook posts).
Have any of you readers out there had a similar situation where you were forced to slow down and think about your life as something wasn't right, so much so it made you ill so you did rest!!

🧚♀️ Before you go....
My next blog post 'Were You An Indigo Child? The Signs To Look Out For!' covers Children who are telepathic and empathetic, are likely excitable and can lack concentration. I think I might have been one. You might even know someone yourself or even be one as we can still be an Indigo into adulthood.
Plus 'What’s Been Happening In My Life! - The Essential Guide - Part 2' will be after that x
