...:coffee: My body just had a cup of coffee without my permission. : ) Anyway, that's how I feel, just be naughty. Play hooky. Hubby hasn't had meeting in week, and don't know what hit the fan last night, and hoping it won't hit again tonight. Left me reeling backwards, and didn't want to go backwards...so I headed here, today. I could have wasted my whole day in anger, but chose not to...but my whole day seems wasted trying to reverse the "moods" that tried to take over. They are now stablilized, and my plan to get to the Message Board worked...now I will find productive ways to finish this day.....no more self-pity, etc.
Glad you could make some positive movement. Sometimes the good thinking follows that good action. I could relate to that struggle just back to the level field. I think its ok if you had a cup of coffee :) lol doesn't sound to naughty but it is funny how we sometimes feel the slightest thing for ourselves is bad?
I Think I relate to that but instead of naughty I feel guilt . Stay easy on yourself and hope your day went well
I bet you two quarters, no four quarters that it is not self-pity… it is feeling very sad… betcha! Of late, I am getting very good at just letting the feelings be without fighting them and to just not giving the feelings much life at all. It is like, they come in one door of my mind and I go, “oops, there’s another one.” and then let it go right out the other door of my mind. Of course, the good ones that I get now because I let the feeling be, I nurture into full bloom.
Thats kinda neat Richard. Thats how emotions should be, just flowing. I don't know why I feel I have to get mired in some of them most of the time. I must give them too much weight or something. I think in my caseif self pity is a part of it it tends to be a stickier blend of muck:)
