Anyone else seem to have this occurrence, where you go in cycles...happy and content and secure and then you get satisfied or you start enjoying yourself and you get lazy or off course or something and then before you know it your normal routine has gone out the window, nothing is right and your cranky??
I get tired of the struggle at times, it seems like I can be so content and happy and then BAM, my happiness seems to F*&^ it all up because I'm relaxing, taking it easy, not driving myself to WORK, WORK, WORK!!
I know I'm not thinking straight! I know my attitude sucks right now! I know I'm tired and I can't face work today....but I need to do something and stop sitting around being such a whiner...that does not solve ANYTHING!!!
Sure, it's easy to get people to feel sorry for you, to pity you...but what good does that do??? You can expend little or the same energy taking action to change that cycle and there's seems that there's always a solution, an answer...or as my daughter always says..."Somehow it always works out!!!" Why is it so hard to have faith on days like this?? Why do I allow myself to be so fearful, when I know damn well that I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! Why do I waste time sulking?? Why do I WAIT until its SO BAD THAT I'm with my back against the wall??
I know it's just life, I'm not a child, I'm over half a century old!! Why do I still struggle so to just go with the flow and sometimes just be a little more careful!!! I don't know....I'm kinda bummed with myself and sitting here wondering what simple things can I do different to make this a little better in my life???
Thanks for listening and letting me vent, I appreciate any encouragement!! I appreciate your thoughts and ideas...thanks again!

Maybe just try someting new. Something you haven't tried before but always wanted too. I'm not suggesting hang gliding or anything that extreme, more like a cooking class, or art class. Take up a sport like biking, or roller blading. I love our Kayak.
Sometimes a change of scenery, go for a ride and find a new place. Walk a trail with a loved one. Watch the ocean, if you can. Take a deep breath and enjoy life without smoking.
Lots of hugs
Heidi

We used to call that our biorithyms. Sometimes they are up, sometimes down, but mostly neutral. Enjoy all the biorithym cycles, they are here to stay.

Everyone needs a lil "down time". We call it a pity party. You have to admit it makes you appreciate the good things in life once it's all over.
Glad you're starting something new. Can't wait to hear how you like it! So glad you have your daughter around to get you out of the house etc. Being cooped up too long doesn't help.
Glad you came here to vent. That's one of the reasons we're here! (((hugs)))

Nothing worth having in life is ever easy.
BELIEVE in yourself!

I call those days "being sorry for Dewey days". Eventually I usually have to laugh at myself for being so sorry for myself.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Life can be a roller coaster at times. Like your daughter says, somehow it always works out.
