I completely agree with you.... I am middle aged for goodness sakes with sooooo much more to do.

Here is the trick.  One positive word every day for a week.

Then two positive words every day for a week... three... a sentence and then eventually a paragraph.

Every single day.

Things start looking up just because this is your new language.

I only say this because quite often when I read your words, my heart cries.

The day you burst out laughing again will be a very great day.  I know this for fact ... not fiction baby... I was there, in your space, for a very long time.

PS... for some explicable reason... Pearl Jam... the "all" of the collection (which is extremely large and difficult to collect) was my 'getting better' music.

It seems like only yesterday we were calling today tomorrow.  

I'm not sure if I'm going to express this the way I feel inside, but I feel time slipping away, too, and wonder if life will ever be more fun, more relaxing, more rewarding,  and if there will be someone to enjoy spending time with.   I can't feel sorry for myself, because  I really am "in charge" of what I make of my life.   If I'm not smiling,  it's on me.  Am I too afraid to make a change, or just too lazy.  Probably both.  

I did watch and listen to one of the Lyle and Al  recordings....it was from 1994, in black and white.  It was good, but it made me think more than I want to. The energy levels couldn't be more different! Al is so animated and fun, while Lyle is almost shy, more watching than participating.  

I would be Lyle. 

 

Interesting reading here if you want to find solutions. All suggestions don't work but some do.

Cheer up mate.Better times ahead.You never know what's waiting around the corner.

Rick, the world turns. This comes from a French saying that I cannot spell...But you never know whats around the corner. The world will stop by good, then bad, than good good bad. It all evens out in the end.  You are due some good things. Don't forget t o smile........

One thing is for sure Rick, you have alot of friends on here , most of us have had ups and downs, but we are still here, and making each other smile and laugh now and again, I hope. Keep trying to be positive Rick  and remember try to look to the future, and better times.

Rick,  accentuate the positive, and eliminate the negative.

Happiness is a choice for myself every day. I choose happiness every day when I get up. I smile to everyone I encounter or pass by. This comes back to me in so many lovely ways. I refuse thoughts that are not happy and offer all of my thoughts to god in prayer. "All I choose is happiness for me now.” is embracing all the joy and happiness that can be mine every day. By controlling my own thinking in this way I am happy and healthy. 

That's one clock you cannot control - it keeps on ticking leaving  you lesser and lesser time to do what you want to.  So be very selective in choosing.

Can’t see to type or read. I’ll just listen and then listen again.
