Sometimes thinking outside of myself serves me well, to get perspective and to have a plan for action. But with so many things happening in the outside world as well as within our own lives--it can sometimes just make me sink into fatalism.
Thing is, a LOT of things are not good...but there ARE things that are good.
I guess I have to try to think of what goals are more important than others in my life and in my loved ones lives.
Our downs:
- Work issues
- Michael unemployed
- Willow going through depression episodes
- Chewy going through depression episodes
- My dad having health scares
- My own health scares
- Broken furniture (yeah, not the WORST thing...but it adds to the chaos)
- Money issues
BUT...Our UPs:
TOTAL CON 40!
I WON! lol
Quigleys!
Pool Time!
Michael's Birthday at the hotel!
New shirt!
Michael running his first game--one that both he and Dad created.
"Ray Harryhausen's Jurassic Park"
Pumpkin has a new friend, and now we have two new Guinea Pigs to love on:
Welcome to Toffee!
With loss, we also had a renewal. Toffee had been abandoned and needed a buddy. Pumpkin needed one too...so, now we have two buddies again. Its sometimes hard, because of course they don't replace Luci and Knight...we still miss those two very much...but Toffee and Pumpkin are growing on us!!
- Willow started a volunteering job at a local therapeutic horse farm
- Michael had a couple of interviews
- Most of the snow has melted!
- BUNNIES!
(yeah, yeah...I am working on the good things, dammit!)
