Hi hear ya. Sorry whats going on with you. I try and focus on the positive things in life. It is tough though because its waaaay easier to be pessimistic than optimistic. I guess I try to be grateful in the touhest times and I think that helps me get through each day...one day at a time.
Hi Digby, I know that you have been going through a very hard time after losing your father but I didn't know that there were other factors as well. Sometimes it really feels like when it rains it is a hailstorm but just like any storm, this too will pass. I've gone through such a roller coaster ride of good times and tough times but one thing that I know for certain is that the tough times always pass. My faith has been tested so many times but somehow the tough times make my faith even stronger. Like Jimmy, I like to focus on what I am grateful for and that always turns my energy around. I will journal about what I am grateful for at the end of each day and I feel a ton better. If I'm having a rough day, then I will do it in the morning or any time of day. I'll even recite what I'm grateful for to myself and that helps too.
it's so challenging to keep the faith day to day, i myself have that issue but i pray and pray a lot. that always help keep my faith and its been tested a lot lately so i've been praying a lot more.
been practicing being more positive and as hard as it is it does help a lot. i appreciate all of the support here, it's helped me through this dark time.
