Our moods change daily and different things can bring it up or down. Lack of sleep, irritations from on going issues, and cloudy blah day toady. has me just that -,Blah mood and tried feeling. How about you ?
I try to stay positive, as much as possible; but of course, that does not always work out right. I think we all have bad days. I call mine the “sky is falling” days from that old kids story we learned as little kids. I have less of them now than I did when I was younger, my emotions seem more settled now. Our attitude is one of the few things in life that we have control over, and I know I enjoy being happy more than being grumbly, so I try to have an attitude adjustment when i get too grumbly. Sometimes, life just throws at us more than we can handle, @Hedi Mitchell , and the bad days are going to happen.
My mood is better today than yesterday. I wasn't feeling well and combined with the never-ending tightness and nerve pain from my surgery I was deep into "what the hell is the point" land. It's easy for me to get overwhelmed these days so I just go with the flow and wait for it to pass. I suppose we all have our burdens to bear, especially at this time of life...so a good day is becoming more rare.
It's been overcast and raining all day with 1.3 inches of rain in the gauge. Dreary is the word, but I slept pretty well overnight so my mood isn't bad regardless. No sleep and nothing seems right.
to be more specific - some days I can get up sleep or no sleep and be full of energy and be positive. Then there are those days and feel blah, and just do not want to do anything. Do you have those days? I think I am up and positive most of the time. Guess I am wondering what brings on the changes and why?
I usually have a tough time around this time of year adjusting to the increasing darkness we get this tie of year, but this year seems better than most and I don't feel; particularly down. Wife and I had dinner with friends at their house, and we discussed life in general. Our children grew up together and have all gone their separate ways now, but we have 14 grandkids and our friends trail with only 13. We discussed a friend's tough time, as he crashed his new plane on Saturday and has been medevac'd to Seattle for specialized emergency surgery. We don't know how well he will recover. His wife was with him, and she suffered only minor injuries, but they were the topic of discussion for some of the evening. I think getting outside and visiting with friends and neighbors helps the mood, as does exercise and (for me) taking B-100 supplements. I discovered the benefits of B-100s some years ago as a mood enhancer/leveler. SAD lights help, too, if you are in the north.
Today's incessant rain hasn't dampened my spirits or stopped me from constantly going out for my nicotine fixes. Right now I'm in a "let's get rid of loads of the stuff from DH's closet" mood. DH cleared it out at the weekend prior to repainting the walls and installing new shelving. Now I've gone into get rid of the junk overdrive. There are boxes full of bits and pieces that need sorting and he has clothes that he hasn't worn for years. There's nothing wrong with them so they'll be going to the thrift shop. All the other stuff will be sorted, boxed in transparent plastic boxes and marked according to use and either stored in an orderly manner once he's got the new shelves in place or taken to the recycling depot. I mean who needs a whole box of coax and ethernet cables that will never be used as all our TV's and computers are on high speed wireless optic fibre? Feeling very pleased with myself for getting this done. In other words, today I'm in a really great mood. @Don Alaska You're way behind in the grandkids stakes, we're ahead of you at twenty including adopted ones. So sorry to hear about your friend and his wife's airplane accident. I hope he makes a full recovery in the course of time.
i am in a pissy mood---i was ordering somthing from walmart and it the wrong charge button--so it will take me forever to get a new password they keep refusing every one i put out there===grrrrr
I'm in a pretty good mood today. I have another referral for physical therapy and will be seeing a therapist at Mays Clinic (where I receive radiation.) I spoke briefly with the PT tech and I expect this experience to be more helpful than last time.
Good mood, and spent the day with my BFF (50 years) having lunch and talking about how the America we knew is -Gone
