Does anyone else ever have a day |
|
where they feel like they're just going through the motions and ask "What's the point?"

Hate those days. Fortunately, they are few and far between, but when they come, they're real downers.

but some days are better than others.
It's winter, it always makes people dreary. Summer will cheer things up.
I hope!

but here's a song that makes me look at that situation in a different light.
*** Verse 1: We made it down to New York with everything intact but as for getting back - it was Boo who made the joke, they don't give you any hope but they'll leave you plenty of rope
*** Verse 2: And Dan came in from Jersey he went to get the drums and if Buddy ever comes we can get it off the ground I hope someone's coming down 'else I can't see hanging around *** Chorus: Oh, experience is cheap if that's the company you keep and a chance is all that I need and I've had it I've had it
*** Verse 3: So we all just started playing and then something strange occured not a person stirred oh, it started out one way but it turned out to be okay and I felt that somebody should say
*** Chorus: Oh, experience is cheap if that's the company you keep and before you know that it's free you've had it you've had it
*** Bridge: Like most amazing things It's easy to miss and easy to mistake For when things are really great It just means everything's in its place
*** Verse 4: When everything was over and we loaded up the van I turned and said to Dan, "Dan, I guess this is our prime like they tell us all the time were you expecting some other kind?"
*** Chorus: Oh, experience is cheap if that's the company you keep and I'll never get that disease 'cause I've had it I've had it I guess I've had it

Do not surrender even when defeated, and do not be a slave even in bondage, trembling with fear advance bravely, and attack with fury, though badly wounded.
Be as stubborn as a rusting nail, that refuses to yield though old and ruined, and do not envy the peacock's plumage, that drops in fear at the first noise.
Be as a god that never cries, or as a devil that never prays, or as the oak whose mighty canopy, needs of water but does not beg it.
Even when it rolls to the dust, let your head scowl and bite, and scream for vengeance.
- Pedro Palacios Almafuerte Argentinian poet 1854-1917
Believe it or not, this is my mother's favorite poem. She is my guiding light. God bless her and keep her.

I'm 35. I usually vomit in terror when I pause to consider that I may well have ANOTHER 35 years left to go.
I've been an adult for 15 years so basically it's like being on the fifteenth mile of a seventy mile run. Only I've already tripped and fallen a bunch of times, I hurt my ankle, vomited, my side hurts, I'm wearing the wrong kind of shoes, I've got a charlie horse, a nose bleed and I'm sucking wind cuz it's all been UPHILL since mile number two and to top it all off I was never in shape for such a long god-damned run to start with!
I'd stop running but my wife and kids are right behind me in a golf cart carrying cattle prods and Gator Aid...

21. I think we all do. I've found DU a great help on those days. |
|
In fact, late last year and early this one I had several months like that. I was ill and my mom died--a really tough time.
I even stopped posting for a long while, but I lurked a bit here.
I always cheered up a bit when I came to DU. the Lounge wackiness came to be a great help at times!
Take care--we've got your back. :hug:

On top of that I had a cold and I just was not into anything today . I felt like laying on my worktable and going to sleep while I was at work . I ended up clocking out 2 hours after clocking in and I went back home and crawled back in the bed .
