Good afternoon fellow FABO members

I am sitting here thinking (and that's typically not a good thing) and I feel like I need to get something off my chest. Lately I have been in a rut of negativety and feeling mad all the time. Well today that has backfired on me in the worst way possible. My gf of 3 years broke up with me this morning saying that I wasn't me anymore that I had changed and not for the best and that she feels like she doesn't know me anymore. Well if that wasn't bad enough I tripped coming down the stairs from the apartment into the Phoenix's left fiberglass fender, ruining the fender in the process and it was only 6 at that point. What I am trying to say I guess is that if I had pissed anyone off on here in the last few months I am sorry. I need to change and the first step is to not be so negative.

So as the old saying says "Live as if you die today but dream as if you live forever" I think that's going to be my new life words to live by.
 
Keep your head up boss. The girlfriend thing seems huge right now but give it a month. It took a life changing experience for me to realize how trivial most of the things are that get people down. One thing that helps me is thinking that there could be a guy stopped next to me at a stop light that is dealing with much worse problems. Now as long as I have my health and my friends and family are healthy I'm happy.
 
We all have our days or weeks. A funk is a funk. Its not how bad or how deeply it pushes you down you can pull yourself up and start over. Life gets us all down. Look for little things that you enjoy and start doing them. If she can't hang with you when your down she's not who you needed anyway. Smile spring is on the way. Crank the stereo up and wax the car.
 
First of all don't be too hard on yourself...just be honest with yourself. Think things through and take one step at a time. Good luck and keep your head held high.
 
seems like sometimes we just have to slow our life down and think, and think about what is truly important!??
you don't have to look too far around to see vets that have come back home, missing limbs, stress from the war, looking for a job, fighting the V A for what is right, and that's just one part of our population.
if we look, we can always see how maybe our life has lots to be thankful for??
 
Heck just turn on the radio and listen to the traffic report. There was a fetal crash here today and hearing about that on the news made me realize my stress about getting a new job is nothing. It might sound like "get tough" advice but when I was at my lowest of lows last year it helped bring me out of it.

Count your blessings. Look at all the good in your life and focus on that.
 
don' know. wait till ya git old

Jan--feb-march 'n sometimes April always were bad months for me.
 
The most important thing is recognizing your feelings. It's challenging for me this time of the year. Christmas and New Years have come and gone, and Valentines Day is over...now it's cold and there's not much to do outside. I get outside when I can and do little things to my car when I can.

A few years ago I ran across this inspirational site http://www.simpletruths.com/

I buy their books to keep me motivated. Many of their books have DVD's with 2-minute movies. You can view the short movies on their website...check them out, they are good.

Here's one to get you started. https://vimeo.com/99069436
 
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it .

Maintain an even strain. Memories are living in the past.

Chin up, chest out.......move forward.
