PS…if you make graphics, some C&C Monday headers would be welcome. I can add them to the main page.
I have chosen, somewhere in my healing, to not have a lifetime of pain. Internally right now I am fighting physical pain but I hope to have that resolved this summer. Internally, mentally, I have pains that come and go.
I try to keep my head above water and balance things out. Sometimes this means other areas of my life must suffer. Unfortunately I haven’t written here as much as I would have liked. My writing jobs have gone to nil and I’m hiding in the house again.
I know it won’t last because I’ve been through worse…I think I just need the understanding of my readers. I want them to know that I’m fighting. I’m not giving up. I’m still here and doing as good as possible. I know I haven’t kept in touch with my blog friends as much through this. I hope that you understand why…and not take it personal.
I’m going to make it.
You know who I’m talking about. The ones that walk around and talk about how unfair life is. The emo-type that just can never be happy.
I’ve always dealt with them in my life in some form or fashion. I never wanted to be that “girl that bitches” or the one that everything goes wrong in her life. I’m not saying that I haven’t had a bad day! That’s not it. It’s that person that seems to be stuck in the mire of life. Stuck in the deep pit…and instead of asking for help or working out of it, they lay down and die.
Do you know someone like this? I seem to be a magnet for them. Their life is surrounded by controversy and stress. I try to help by listening or giving advice. It’s not always women, mind you, but in my life I tend to find those first. I just don’t get it anymore. I have my issues, I’ve been in deep, but what makes them stay there?
Is it how you’re raised? Is it the timing? Age? What keeps someone from the desire to keep going? Lack of self-love maybe? I could relate to that last one. Maybe that’s it.
What do you think?
I have noticed lately that every single commercial on TV has a song I used to listen to. I think I’m getting old. That’s a sign that they are marketing my generation! Have you noticed this?
Now, I was born in ’73 so if you’re not in that generation you might not realize it but even my husband, who is 5 years older, has noticed that the songs are hitting us and we’re like “whoa, I love that song” only to realize it’s marketing.
I’m not sure if I should enjoy the thought that I’m finally a grown up or…nah, I’m still a kid at heart. That’s what matters, right? Even our news station played a few good songs during breaks. My brother has always been an excellent person to ask about music. I wonder if he’s noticed this? Have you?
I’m glad spring is arriving fast…but I also love it when it snows out of nowhere! This morning I had an early start (even though it’s Spring Break for the children) in getting my husband off to work. I then had a very quiet house.
I set up the laptop in the kitchen and while making some coffee, did some reading with the shades up. I was browsing around and looked up at the window and there was a blizzard outside! Nothing stuck but it was amazing to see that. Now, it’s mostly sunny and windy outside and you wouldn’t know that it had snowed a bit.
Unpredictable. Not only weather but our lives. Have you had days where your “weather” changes on you suddenly and you’re not sure where it comes from? I know I have! Have you had days you can predict the sun shining or the rain coming? I know I have!
It’s amazing how many comparisons you can make with life and the things that happen in it. I’m always in awe of the way things work and how much they work together. There is a neat link between pathways we take. I meet friends and I lose friends but the whole way I’m blessed…
I hope my reflections aren’t too sappy for you. I’m working through some things and this always helps me. I get it out on “paper” and I can look back and see what brought me out of depression or a funk…and use it next time.
What do you do to help you out of depression or bad days?
