Take this survey | Find more surveysTHIS SITE IS JUST LIKE ME ..... TOTALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.I am soon to be divorced for a second time. I am in my second failed/abusive marriage. I am a "used-to-be" and I just try to get through each day the best that I can. I am on a journey of getting my life back in order. I have a 16 year old son, Daniel, from my first marriage, that I love dearly -- more than life itself, but I probably drive him crazy. I have found in my adult life that way too many people have become so incredibly serious. They're offended easily and become bothered, irritable, and uptight at everything and nothing at all. It seems like they're at a point where they take everything too seriously -- theirselves, other people, mistakes, plans, hassles, and life in general. They're on edge 24/7, almost looking for things to complain about. I try very hard not to be one of those people. I'm not very good at it...but I try. I also try to be "that pearl in the diamond world." I've decided to try to have a love affair with life since I haven't had much luck with humans!! All it takes is the commitment to reflect upon the miracle of life itself and to remember, each day, how lucky we are just to be alive. We're only here for a moment in time -- and then we're gone. Hurricane Katrina taught us that lesson. Why waste one second on self-pity, frustration, irritation, and all that garbage? Make the best of every moment and life will have a magical way of working itself out. Stop postponing and setting aside those things we claim are so important to us. Most importantly, stop taking life for granted!!! And, what's so wrong with wanting to feel like a kid again?? I might feel my age (or older most days!!!)...but I don't have to act it!!! (As John Cougar's song says..."Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying...and dying don't sound like all that much fun!!!) Spending time with our children/teenagers (when they let us) brings a sense of balance to our lives. It reminds us that the best things in life aren't things. When we get bent out of shape by little things...or when we are irritated at ourselves and others, our reactions (and over-reactions) not only make us stressed out and miserable, but they can actually get in the way of our getting what we want...and keep us from enjoying life the way it was meant to be enjoyed. To be too serious, too often, is to miss out on a great deal of the joy of life. Don't get me wrong...I get pissed off more often than I would like to admit... and for stupid reasons most of the time...but there are people out there with far more serious problems than me. At least my heart is in the right place and I can sleep well at night because of that. (Well, actually I can't sleep well at night...but that's another story for another day. But it's not because of my conscience...or regrets.)There is a saying that fits me perfectly that goes something like this:"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child." Not just a child...but my child...Daniel. *(I'm not done here...to be continued...)*My thoughts for today (05-18-06): Life is too short to trudge through it depressed and defeated. No matter what has come against you or what is causing you to slip and fall, no matter who or what is trying to push you down, you need to keep getting up on the inside. If you want to give your enemy a nervous breakdown, learn to keep a good attitude even when the bottom falls out! Learn to be happy even when things don't go your way!!
