I have a hard time admitting this, I would much rather be cheerful and post more positive topics. But I really did have one of those days where I would have rather left work and hid out in my room to have a good cry...over God knows what, because it's nothing in particular, just feeling emotional and vulnerable. Normally I wouldn't put myself "out there" if I'm feeling emotional and vulnerable, but my dear wonderful friend rosie suggested it, so I decided to just do it. It all started way before work, probably due to lack of sleep, but the trigger for my emotional meltdown was a couple of nasty guests and one of my co-workers not agreeing with me about something. I maintained my dignity and went to the office. The Director of my department was there, she's very spiritual and into energy healing kind of stuff. When I'm around her, I can't act like everything's okay...and sure enough, I couldn't this time either. I ended up starting to cry and a whole lot of bottled up thoughts and feelings came flooding out. Instead of letting me go home, she took me for a golf cart ride around the island. We visited the marina, watered the golf cart, went to a little beach and just sat there until I was able to ground myself. She gave me a Rose Quartz to carry with me throughout the day. I told her I wanted to go home, but needed to stay. I was given the option of leaving if I needed to but after an hour, not sooner. I made it through the day and left at the usual time, it gave me more of a feeling of empowerment than the defeated feeling I would have had if I left. I guess I'm rambling and don't know if this makes any sense. I guess I just needed to write about it because sometimes I feel all alone in the world, in the sense that, I, at times have an extremely emotional day for no specific reason other than just being tired, and maybe needing some tender loving care, or a hug. Anyone else ever feel this way? Or have any of you ever just had a sucky day? Edited for typos ********************************************************** Life is good ....TRUST ME  10% is what life throws at you, the other 90% is how you react to it .  ...((HUGS ))  Come here ...You need a hug. We all need one   Feeling better now ?? Much better  So do I call you "Pepi" now. Kind of reminds me of that skunk Pepe Le Pew  I'm sure you smell much better though   Thanks Pepi...I always feel better when you're around (((HUGS)))  ******************************************************** Thanks Jul I only wish you ever taste it a real PEPINOFRUIT I am around, I WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. Just to let you know Kind Regards ...Pepi is just fine

Yesterday I was looking for the thread where I could put an article about deep and shallow people....now I found a place to post it here , I hope this could help you understand yourself better as well as give others some thoughts to ponder on https://www.learning-mind.com/shallow-people/ I hope you'll read it and praise yourself for being deep. Give yourself a hug , don't let anyone ruin your day:) I love rose quartz, I used to believe that when you have it with you always , it calms your spirit and attracts love. Be happy you have a good spiritual friend there with you be grateful for the people who surrounds you with love and who truly understand your deep nature.     I liked the article Dolphin. I have to admit, sometimes I have a problem with some of the words we use to describe characteristics of people. Those words/labels tend to categorize people into groups, and certain labels have negative connotations to them. With that said, I think the article did a good job in defining what they refer to as shallow and deep personality traits. One particular quote from the article has had a lot of influence in how I strive to be. "the Native American phrase ‘never judge a man until you have walked two moons (months) in his moccasins (shoes)’" I try not to judge others...some days I do better than other days, but I generally catch myself and turn it around. The one person I continually judge the most and more harshly, is myself. But the quote does say not to judge until you have walked two months in that person's shoes....and I have walked in my own for 54 years (started walking at the age of one year's old) so it must be okay  ...according to the article, that would be a shallow response, lol. I need to remind myself to have as much compassion and empathy for myself, as I do others, and give myself a break once in a while. Yesterday when I had my meltdown, I told my boss I felt stupid and pathetic for being so emotional. Today, I turned it around and acknowledge that I am in an emotional state of mind, and let others, who asked, that I'm just having an emotional day. I got a couple of hugs, which was nice, but letting myself be human was even better. |

On a lighter note, if this helps, listen on YouTube to "Honey, I'm Home" by Shania Twain (1998) Perfect song for me Mike, just missing one thing....The honey to rub my feet when I get home.  Thanks Mike, I enjoyed listening to it and it really did help! Sounds like Mike needs to visit and rub your feet... Hope your days are better my friend.  Nice of you to volunteer another man to do the job....silly man! My day was better, thanks!  Well, Mike IS the one that suggested you listen to the song... |

For a humorous take on Murphy's Laws Have a look at this site http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-laws.html again because M2 doesn't like some URL hyperlinks http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-laws.html Just copy and paste. Some outtakes from the site: If anything can go wrong, it will Corollary: It can Corollary: It should MacGillicuddy's Corollary: At the most inopportune time Extension: it will be all your fault, and everyone will know it. Edward A. Murphy, Jr. was one of the engineers on the rocket-sled experiments that were done by the U.S. Air Force in 1949 to test human acceleration tolerances (USAF project MX981). One experiment involved a set of 16 accelerometers mounted to different parts of the subject's body. There were two ways each sensor could be glued to its mount, and somebody methodically installed all 16 the wrong way around. Murphy then made the original form of his pronouncement, which the test subject (Major John Paul Stapp) quoted at a news conference a few days later. Within months `Murphy's Law' had spread to various technical cultures connected to aerospace engineering. Before too many years had gone by variants had passed into the popular imagination, changing as they went. Most of these are variants on "Anything that can go wrong, will"; this is sometimes referred to as Finagle's Law. The nature of the Universe is Chaos. We expect Symmetry and Order. Murphy's Laws point out people's tendency to act thru ignorance, inability or malice that inadvertently change the outcome of a planned event. These laws point out occurrences to give focus. For every example of a Murphy's Law, there are thousands of instances where it did not apply. People just tend to "Focus' on the bad things. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the FIRST to go wrong. If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop Corollary: It will be impossible to fix the fifth fault, without breaking the fix on one or more of the others Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics Things get worse under pressure. The Murphy Philosophy Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse. Quantization Revision of Murphy's Laws Everything goes wrong all at once. Murphy's Constant Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value Addition to Murphy's Laws In nature, nothing is ever right. Therefore, if everything is going right ... something is wrong. You cannot successfully determine beforehand which side of the bread to butter. He who angers you controls you, there-fore you have no control over your anger. No matter how hard you try, you cannot push a string. Great ideas are never remembered and dumb statements are never forgotten. Being dead right, won't make you any less dead. Whatever you want, you can't have, what you can have, you don't want. Whatever you want to do, is Not possible, what ever is possible for you to do, you don't want to do it. All good things come to those who wait... but , don't wait too long or they will pass you by... like 2 ships that pass in the night... never again to return that same exact site. Long's Law Those who know the least will always know it the loudest. McFalls' Maxim No degree of acceptance can ever change the facts. Translation: You may come to terms with being screwed, but nevertheless you're still screwed. The Law of Stupid Tricks Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. The Wingwalker's Rule: Don't let go of something until you have a hold of something else. The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, the pessimist fears this is true. Common Sense Is Not So Common key to happiness is to be O.K. with not being O.K. Law of cooperatives In any particular situation, if three things can go wrong, they usually do in sequence, each facilitating the occurrence of the next If you like these quips there are many more available at the source link. For the longest time I existed in a world of Murphy's Laws. I Looked for the negative, Expected the negative and Found the negative. When I changed my perspective to positive thinking I noticed that there really isn't that much that goes wrong. I now Look for the positive, Expect the positive and See the positive. I now exist in a positive world of contentment. Sometimes things will go wrong but I embrace them and work thru the difficulty if I can. If there is nothing I can do about it, I accept it and move on to something more positive. When we have that bad day or bad week we are concentrating on all the bad things that happen. To break the pattern, we must refocus our attention to things that are positive or fulfilling to us. Its difficult at first but as we continue, those bad days dissolve before us. There are times Tom when I read what you say and think I'm looking at a mirror image of my thoughts. I can identify so much with what you say, and have worked through similar things in similar ways. The thing I admire most about you, is that you seem to have found a way to not only apply what you talk about, but maintain it as well in your daily living. There was a time when I could see clearly and was told how insightful I was, but the problem was my inability to apply the tools I was learning. Now, I am able to apply those tools, but my difficulty in maintaining it in my daily life still alludes me. The last couple days has brought me to a point where I now accept this about myself, rather than feeling inadequate because I haven't gotten to where I want to be yet. I am blessed to have others show up in my life who I can learn from. And I am blessed to have my own experiences to reflect on and learn from. I forget to see the courage and strength it took me to get to where I am today. That same strength and courage is what I need to draw on to move forward and closer to where I envision myself. Thank you for the resources you've posted and for your wisdom. |

Simply said, Yes. Even as a male, I've had those days of "the Funk" as Tom4U called it. I feel for ya Pisces, and hope today has been a better day for you. Thanks Scoob It has been a better day! What are some of the things you do Scoob, to get out of "the funk"? Sometimes there's nothing I can do. Just have to let it run it's course that day. Other times, going for a long walk or bike ride with no music. Just my thoughts to contemplate can help. I usually end up opting to take a long drive, just listening to music and looking at the countryside. |

I've gotten a little lazy and on my days off I haven't felt like doing anything requiring physical exertion. But it's very therapeutic. I like to take my walks out in nature where there are very few people, or to go sit by the water somewhere. There are times when there's nothing I can do either. I forget to let it run it's course, got to work, so I try to force myself to "get over" it, which only makes it worse. Thanks for sharing Scoob :) |

I see that foot rubs are VERY popular with women. Next time I'm in Florida I'll look you up. Had to be in Tampa one May, and the humidity there was unbearable--no bears could be seen! |

Awww, thanks Mike, that would be lovely Yes, the humidity down here is unbearable, and getting worse! Some day I will go back to where there are hills, woods, lakes, maybe mountains, and bears! I've always enjoyed being out in nature and the woods, and I don't get to do that here. Nature, yes...but it's not the same. |

Here's a mental visual for your foot rub: you're sitting in a slightly reclining position, surrounded by lit candles, as your feet are slowly messaged with scented oil (your choice). After they're properly anointed, it's followed up with slow kisses all over your feet. Sound good enough?
