A non Gratitude Post
Mood: Still Good
Listening To: Days of the New - Enemy
Word of the Day: Still Snarf.
I had the realization earlier that it's been awhile since I made a regular type post. So much has happened in the last month, but really with the way the last 4 years have seemed, it just all blurs together, ya know?
So, what's new in Jake's world? We're down to less than a month before we go on Vacation. It's 27 days until Halloween (my favourite day of the year) LA is supposed to be here in 11 days.
I hate being so far away from most of the people I care about. When my friends and family are hurting or stressed, and I can't be with them to help, it just makes me feel helpless. And I can be an ear, but sometimes you need to be a shoulder.
I've always said, if I could wave a magic wand and take the weight off of my loved one's shoulders I would.
Had it out with the Troll again today. I turned my self into Teflon and just let what he was saying slide off of me. I was strong enough to have the realization that really, the grand scheme of things, he's just a small little man that needs to make others feel like shit so he can feel better about himself. A couple of wise little birds whispered that in my ear, and today I was able to listen. I also managed to get a couple of digs in, and turn it back around on him.
People that are jerks, just to be jerks, really need to clue in, and fuck off. (pardon my language)
I've been enjoying doing the 30 Days of Gratitude posts. I'm glad LA suggested we start it up again. It does help to take 5 minutes a day and reflect on what you're thankful for. Even on days when you think the world has shit on you, and you're at your lowest. If you can find just 3 things that you're glad about that day, you've won a small victory.
Now I just need to work on rebuilding my faith in the universe and the Gods. I need to see the times that they've been there. I know there's more than just me in the world, and I know I have it a hell of a lot better than so many people. But there are just some days, when I'm so down that I don't remember that.
The depression isn't as bad this year as it was last year. At least there's not as many days when I'm looking at life and thinking, Why?
I think that's all I've got in me to write tonight. Who knows, maybe I'll find something fun in my late night interwebbing to share. Have to be up early to take the kidlets to school, and go back and see if my tire can be fixed correctly.
G'night world!

30 Days of Gratitude: Post 14
Mood: Good
Listening To: The Cranberries - Still Can't...
Word of the Day: Snarf
1. Had a nice visit with an old friend today. It totally made up for the fact I was working a 13 hour shift and missing out on turkey.
2. Memories - While I try not to dwell on the past, it's nice when something will trigger a happy memory.
3. Caffeine - Yes, I know it's not exactly the healthiest thing out there, but there are worse things, and days like today, I really needed it.
