Sometimes there is nothing harder in the world than figuring out what you are feeling. For me it's often an mix of so many things that to explain it in words is just not fathomable. For me I have found that it is important to get to the root of the bad feelings and to make a plan of action to take control of it. If I recognize that there still are a few things that I have control over it makes me feel much more grounded. I don't know if this makes sense. Music helps too!
I haven't really found a motivational video to post yet, but I have been looking. I know there are lots out there but I just can't seem to pick one! I will look for some quotes or song lyrics to add as well.
I'm sorry to hear that you were spiraling downward goofy. It is a good thing that you recognized it though! It's great to hear that you had that "cathartic" event, you deserve to enjoy yourself and do things that make you happy. You will have to look into potential real-estate on the greens, haha, set up camp on hole 18. Bird-watching is great and you know you really must pursue what you love! Hopefully this spring you can go canoeing, and bring the binoculars along to bird-watch while you canoe! Double-whammy! The spiraled holes can sometimes be very deep, but make on move at a time, and one day at a time. I believe in you. I had a pretty rough weekend, some relationship drama, but all seems well now, let's hope this will remain.
First of all, welcome Rebbie! You have come to a really great place.
Secondly, don't feel guilty about leaning on your son these days. He is in your life for many reasons, and to help you, because there is no doubt that you've helped him many times along the way. Try not to beat yourself up about it. Here for you!
I'm sorry that you've been struggling so much lately, hopefully you will get out of that rough patch soon, I hate to see you struggle. You will do well again.... in time, I can assure you. Keep your head up and try to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is there....it's just been a bit foggy in my neck of the woods lately.. it will clear up soon!
I'm glad your list is still going! That is great that you went to New Moon with your kids, great outing! I should do something with mine soon too! I was hoping for a holiday movie, doesn't seem like many have come out this year....
The snow has not yet arrived here, but I'm presuming it will be soon...i'll keep you posted on that one!
