We are looking forward to this weekend. There is nothing like the Super Bowl and we may have a few friends coming over, so that makes it even better.
I went and got a facial and a message Thursday with the gift certificate Harold gave me for my birthday. It was something I needed, a little of pampering goes a long way.
Then I’ve been busy as heck with the my online work since. The 1st and 15th always tie me up. In this case it is a good thing.
Thursday, it has been 2 years since we lost Aurora, it’ll be 4yr in April for Randi, and I’ve just been trying to stay busy so not to think about it. But last night my mind won’t shut off. I hope getting it out will help, plus we have plans for the evening so that is a plus.
I know that pets no way have the involvement of kids, responsibility wise……which is why we prefer them, but it no way means that we love them any less. I’m just wondering it is normal when it has been 2 yrs.
I’m not one who suffers from depression on a regular basis. When I get into my funks it is because something has happened, a death, some family arguments, PMS…. It has to be “trigged”. I know everyone suffers from depression at one time or another . But I know it still has the stagimate that folks who have it effected them regularly won’t get treated.
On an everyday basis, I’m pretty much an optimist……I hope for the best, try to see all sides, but then I try and prepare for the worst “in case”. Just helps so if anything happens, then I can deal with it in a much better state of mind and I know what I’m doing.
In fact, 20/20 (I think) did a report on what makes people happy and 40% of it is attitude and way of thinking. I like that, because I think I have a good attitude overall……..I like to look at the good in people, not the bad (just be careful for it) and it doesn’t bother me like most people if I don’t have what the “Jones” have. I will get what I want eventually, just have to work for it. A lesson of growing up on the lower economic scale and how my folks handled it. Others never get over their beginnings. To me it was just a fact of life.
Well, need to get some lunch into me……I’m starving. =)
