Life sucks, then you die. Four years ago I honestly felt this way about my life. My heart had been broken one too many times. I was picking up the pieces from shattered dreams and what I had thought my life was and was going to be. I did heal, ( well still healing a bit). But I sometimes do struggle with where my life is currently to what I had thought it would be. I then only have to remind myself that in so many ways it is so much better.
My life now can sometimes be a bit lonely. It isn't the loneliness that bothers me, but the boredom. Once again I am going to complain about the Texas summer weather. We are experiencing another dangerous heat wave for the next ten days with temperatures over 103 and heat indexes up to 110+. Yesterday just opening the back door felt like a blast from a furnace. The mornings aren't even cool with temperatures at 6 am in the low 80's. So I hibernate. I can't just pack up and go to a cooler climate for a week as I have to work. Travel takes money. Oh I save and invest for nice trips, but just to do a casual short break hits my budget pretty hard.
Last night though when I started to feel down, I burst out and said LIFE SUCKS BUT THEN YOU.... make a goal that excites you and gives you something to work towards and look forward to! So I stop and remind myself that even though I may get bored in that moment I have some amazing adventures to look forward to. I should sit and enjoy the quiet for the moment that it is and know that the days will pass, the weather will change, retirement will come and adventures will begin!
