thought for the day

Today, i am in a funk.  Actually, it started last night but it's still here.  There are several reasons that i am in a funk...i know this...and i don't like it but that is the hand i have been dealt this week.  Ah, well.

One, this weather really affects me. i am tired of all of these cloudy days.  Where is the sunshine?  yes, we have had a few nice days of springlike weather recently and that, i think, did more damage more than good.  It was just a tease of how i want the weather to be.  Now, we're back to overcast and cloudy and it really affects my mood.

Two, this week is the anniversary of Mom's death.  i always know it is coming and it always affects me differently.  i'm trying not to get depressed about it, but for some reason this year, i am. Maybe it is because i turned 40 this year and that is the age when things started to go downhill for Mom.  Maybe it is the fear that i will be following in her footsteps and i still have so many things left to do on my bucket list.  i don't know.  i do know that i miss her and some days are just harder than others.

Third, school is stressing me out.  i enjoy it, don't doubt that.  It is a wonderful environment and my professors are great.  i am just having a harder time with classes this semester.  Things are not clicking for me like they did last year.  Math based classes are a different kind of thinking that i have not had to do for a long time and i just have not caught up yet.  And i am so bad about procrastinating that i get behind so easily.  i really do need to work on that because it will make things go more smoothly in the long run.

And i have a few more personal issues to work thru that seem to rear their ugly heads when i get depressed and in a funk.  i know that i just have to suck it up and change things and get things done.  It will be a huge burden lifted if/when i do that.  And after 40 years, i think i deserve to treat myself to some happiness.  Happiness is so much easier to obtain than i let it be.  i am tired of making things so difficult.  Period.

Cheers
