I had to laugh about the clothes you can wear sitting on top of your dresser. (mine sit on top of my exercise bike, oddly enough)
It’s easy to get in a slump, I have a pity party every other day. But then I look around and see people like your friend Paul and realize I’ve got much to be thankful for. Here’s hoping you’re out of the doldrums soon. And praying for Paul as well.

Yup, I hear you. Been thinking a lot about my friend who died suddenly this past 4th of July weekend–ironic, huh. Also my big sis who had a bit of a “step back” when she had to be hospitalized the past 2 days for low electrolytes as a result of her radiation and chemo.I know how easy it is to embrace a mood, and I have been feeling sorry for myself(as well as not learning MY lines, LOL)and its the worst. We gotta buck up, put up, and hang tight.Here’s to laughs, love and better days ahead!

I’m so sorry to read about your apathy and fatigue — and your friend’s loss. I hope you remember to reach out to people the way Paul reached out to you. It’s no way to live your life. You deserve better than that.

Putting your situation in perspective is a life-affirming action. And remember…there’s always sunshine at the end of a tunnel, correctamundo?

You know I think it is something in the air. Several of my blogger friends are a little on the “I’ve got the drizzles”. It might be the time of year, the weather, politics or who knows what……Hang in there and things are bound to get better.

Try not to judge yourself. You are going through a tough time. Try doing it 15 minutes at a time. A day at a time is too ambitious! Love and prayers. Debbie

I am so sorry to hear of your friend Paul’s loss, it’s so sad.

Perspective – it really can do so much for the soul, can’t it?

I recently wrote about courage and that in my life it’s meant a little whisper saying “I will get up and try again tomorrow.” And I think that while, certainly, there is usually someone who is going through something harder than what we face, it doesn’t minimize what we are going through. So, yes, thank goodness for perspective and for being given glimpses about how ‘it’s not so bad’ – but don’t ever minimize what it is you experience.

Hoping for brighter days for you!
