In fact I am so confident I think you will be better in a few months. I have no answers but I do know that happiness is a choice, not a place or situation....if you choose to be happy you will find the universe responds....start making a list of what you want and visualise it and every day say outloud "I am abundantly happy" even when you don't feel it...keep saying it. You will get there...do not quit on us please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13493347.post-78783743878204404772008-02-09T21:35:00.000-06:002008-02-09T21:35:00.000-06:00Thanks, guys.

I know it's hard to believe but I've had moments of darkness in my life where it just felt like I was destined to be miserable/stuck forever and it's embarrassing to me that the only way I got "through them" was to GET THROUGH THEM. I have no wise words, I wish I did but when things are just so goddamned circumstantial sometimes all you can do is hope and pray like hell that they change and just ride it out until they do. For me, in my times of desperation, it's rarely ever been anything that I've "done" to improve the situation. Things have just sort of <I>passed</I> or changed on their own (sometimes not even favorably but even <I>that</I> passes and changes). It's maddening and not at all comforting but seriously, sometimes -- actually, a lot of times -- it just happens that way. (Hope this makes sense)<BR/><BR/>If we were IRL friends, I'd so treat you to dinner and a mani/pedi.

But your blog speaks to me more than you might understand, as I find myself facing many of the same disappointments in my own life. I am also a teacher (my students are high-schoolers) married to a man who makes simple daily living much more difficult than necessary, and though I have only one child she requires the energy and attention of at least two. I wanted to thank you for putting your thoughts on this blog, as I have been checking in quietly for a while now. You help me feel a little less lonely every time I read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
