I've been very down the last couple of weeks. Gone back to work the first time in mon ths (since February) and I'm suddenly very depressed. I think part of it is I need some more work to pay my bills. My job is only 50%. I'm also finding I can't keep my mind on anything outside of work. So if you've got something to pick me up, I could use the help right now (Something other than booze).

Recently, I was talking to the Director of my department. Seeing how distracted and bothered I was around lack of clarity re my role, he reached into his wallet and pulled out this small square of cardboard. It was well wrinkled and in some places worn smooth. It said:

God grant me the serenity,
to accept the things I cannot change;
and the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I came away from that meeting feeling better, though there will not be clarity for me for several weeks as yet. Just something calming about those words. I can't explain it.

Uhm I think only one of these critters is enjoying the hug...heehee
That means that hug is working at 50% too. So maybe try what i did not once but twice yesterday.....
Watching them fearlessly hanging on by one hand as their feet dangle 2 feet above the ground...totally focused on reaching that next bar ( their next goal ) ....heck I dare you not to leave feeling pumped up and confident.

So strange... my comments show up when I log in under Firefox, but not with Safari. Well, in case you can't see what I wrote either, here it is:

Dear Winn,

I'm so sorry you're feeling blue. I hope this helps.

Hugs,
Heather

{{{big hug}}}

Now, would you like us to tease you mercilessly about something else?

By the way, when I get down, I think about the difficult times and/or unfair situations I've managed to cope with in the past. Then I thank God that the new challenges aren't as bad as the old losses. Hope this helps!

It is so complicated, ya'll, and it doesn't even have to be.

Thanks, Meri, I actually have those words on my Facebook profile but sometimes it hits you more and means more when someone else comes up with them.
