when life throws you lemons
I have had a few things lately that have made my heart just feel like it’s going to crush under the weight of it all. Life can seem so hard sometimes… it just doesn’t seem fair.
As humans we’re faced with so many challenges. It’s a rollercoaster of joy and pain no matter who you are. Rich or poor, healthy or ill.
But sometimes the pain feels so strong, I wonder if I have the strength to make it another day. The stress of feeling so out of control in a situation – and the anger and frustration that goes with it… it’s unbearable.
Bad news of any kind can put things into perspective so quickly and you start counting the blessings that you do have.
I’m trying to think positive… I just hope this pit in the bottom of my stomach goes away soon.
:::::::::
I know this sounds really meager… and I know a lot of you will be concerned. Please just know I had to just get it out. And I just ask that you think positive thoughts in general. God knows there’s a lot of people out there (not just me) that could use to feel them coming their way.

Sending BIG, happy, smiley thought’s your way Willo…. we all feel like that from time to time I know, but it’s never much comfort saying that to someone when they feel like you do right now
Hi Willo:
I’ve been going through something that is excruciating and almost unrelenting for three years so I know what its like to feel overwhelmed and angry. And when we have to face these things it’s anything but fair.
As you’ve alluded to sometimes all we really have is our thoughts. We can’t change some of the realities we have to face but we can change or perception and reaction to them. Being positive is so so important because it shifts your focus, keeps you from succumbing to the pull of the negative, and I believe even shapes the outcome of the situation. Thanks for reminding me of importance of being positive.
I am sending you good vibes and thinking of you during this difficult time. Hang i there, you will survive.
darling girl… take care of you. seek out the silly tiny things that make you laugh and focus on them… this world can be such a quagmire of crap sometimes. but it always gets better, especially when you have people (physical and metaphysical!) that love and care about you.
warm thoughts. xoxoxoxo.
even to someone who doesn’t know you, part of the beauty of you is your resilience of spirit and character and your unfailing tendency to see the good in things and people. it is my wish for you that these lovely traits see you through this time and all challenging times and that you remember to celebrate the fact that all these dips in the road contribute to making you the amazing woman that you are. hang tough and hug kazoo.
thank you all for these kind words… it’s so helpful to know your thoughts are with me.
Slim, I’m soo sorry to hear you’ve had a rough time for awhile now – yikes! :*( my thoughts are with YOU!
:) we’ll just spread the good vibes everywhere!
thanks for your positive perspectives.
hey sugar,
sorry to hear you’re feeling down. I hope the 21st Street black cloud didn’t blow in your direction. I have no remedies, but you know I’m here if you want to a) chat, b) go out and get silly, c) sit and watch depressing movies and sob hysterically, or d) throw darts at things (preferably not living things).
Dinner later this week?
Oh, and that was a brilliant retail therapy move on your part. You will never regret going mac. I have had macs for 9 years and have never had a virus or major problem. OS X is almost crash proof. The mac is supposed to just work and it DOES.
Thanks for he well wishes. I see a new doctor tomorrow (a specialist).
Oh my, oh my. I haven’t been here for some days now – but here’s a big hug nevertheless :) *mwwwah* Be happyyyyyy!!!! Think of shtripes!!
