How is your life going in this New Year, good or bad?

I think you hit the nail on the head, I don't feel like I'm accomplishing a dang thing but making my butt bigger sitting here on the ocmputer . Thanks for your response and happy to hear the kiddos are doing well and mom is surviving.

Too funny, cotruelove! Well, I actually wish I had more time to be at the computer . . . with little ones I go on here and there when I can. I try to go on after they sleep or before they wake up . . . but it's too hard either way because that means I have to cut out some sleep and I'm too exhausted these days. Hope your husband is feeling better today!!

I'm sorry your husband is having so many health problems, but both of you are suffering. He is being incredibly selfish by using your resources and refusing to go to the doctor. Since you have some health issues too, it isn't right for him to only consider himself. I know it's hard to get out and go to the doctor when all you feel like doing is being in bed, but he NEEDS to go and take care of himself. I think you should do whatever you need to and stop trying not to make noise. Maybe then he will be inspired to get up and go to the doctor and be able to get better.

Thanks for your response. Glad to hear you are experiencing life at its most fulfilling moments.

Nice philosophy and one I've used often, but when you are dealing with extend sickness, mental or physical, it doesn't always work as easily as the theory. Since I have free will the same as you, we always have the choice to change whatever is the problem or to live with it as it is. I doubt seriously, any of us, know exactly where we are supposed to be, or what our God's will is for us, because unless we hear voices which would probably get us admitted to a psychiatric unit, we have to figure out what is the right action for us. IF you read my response to the prior post, you might get some insight as to what is going on that is causing me to loose patience. I find sometimes impatience is necessary to motive myself or some one else to not procrastinate. All aspects of character seem to have both good and bad uses to them, including anger, fear, despair, and any others you wish to name. Thanks for your response and the blessings.

Glad to hear you are optimistic for this new year. I've found when I keep that attitude, things tend to go pretty well, and when I don't, well, not so good. I've always said I can the way I view something and in return change my perception of the thing as a problem. Thanks for the response!

Thank you for your response. Hope your New Year is progressing nicely since you didn't mention how you are doing. Blessings on you.

I've always found when my attitude is bad to start a year, it usually means I'm going to make it a difficult year. For me it is all about my attitude! Thanks for your response, glad to hear you have a job!

It's good that he has ambition, because that will get him far ahead. I feel comfortable staying where I work at right now because I like it and since I'm an actress; I need a second stable job. It seems that something must be going around because I've started to feel sick. It was very cold here in NYC today as well so that must be it. It must be hard to do a complete career change but all the luck to your son.

Thanks for the well wishes for my son. He is changing from accounting to geophysist. Big difference and we'll see how he does with the schooling.

Everything changes that is a guarantee! My son went through that intern stuff for several years, and finally he moved to a different company and a different job. Funny thing now that he the education for that job, and getting the money, he is planning on a complete change in careers! At least he has ambition. My hubby keeps trying to convince me he is getting better, but his cough doesn't indicate it. I know he didn't get his flu shot this year, and before when he did, he wasn't ever sick. Happy MyLotting to you also!

oh yeah, I can definitely understand you saying that with what I know about your life. I'm here for you friend and I'll keep on praying for you!

back atcha...

Thanks, I try hard not to get into the things centered around politics these days and do the things I have some control over. I just try to be grateful for the little triumphs and let the big monster problems take care of themselves when I know I have no control over them. Thanks for the response!

Sounds like a plan to me! Keep the faith that things will improve.
