It just seems to me a muddle, fuddled kind of thing.  Sometimes I get it right, other times I get it sooooo wrong, try to find the lesson in it and then get kicked in the guts for the hell of it.
 
All of it my doing of course, kind of like a little sugar on top of the pie knowing that you sabotage your own life.
 
I could sit here and espouse my wisdom or lack of it and then when crunch comes to crunch I question that wisdom because I'm impatient.
 
Then out of the blue, when things are always at their worst, a little gift comes along... well not a gift something unexpected.
 
I guess the biggest part of life I grapple with is the fact that I question myself far toomuch, I become cynical of others and then when the chips are down I forget everything that will help me get through.
 
Like playing the blonde...
 
Perhaps my expectations of myself and people are too high? perhaps I really am just plain dumb? why is it that when I am at the end of my tether and ready to just give up life comes along and fucking dumps what I've been needing for a long time?
 
The other thing that pisses me off, here is an example.
 
My back has been giving me hell on a stick lately, its so twisted but I haven't got a dollar to flip let alone go see a professional, so I train my husband on how to release my sciatica nerve, I was at whits end, crying.... to release it I had to go through more pain than being on a torturers rack, and now released I have one buttock cheak that is black and blue - is that what you call being on the ass end of life?
 
Still I sit here, MAKING myself smile, KNOWING that at some point I WILL get it... what? how the fuck would I know thats what I'm trying to figure out....
 
All I keep thinking at the moment which isn't helping is "so this is it, struggle, permenant fucked up struggle" not healthy huh? certainly not helpful....
 
Thankfully its a full moon so at least I can sit outside at night and join the chorus of other animals stop trying to be a human being and just howl liek the rest of em.

    Yup, some times you fight so hard against "the enemy" just to find out at the end that they were your strongest ally.  I do hate it when some dolt says "it could be worse" to me.  It's like pouring gas onto the fire.  Sorry to hear your back is giving you grief.

    Sorry you're hurting so much Lu, just not fair and it is like salt in the wound to be 'reminded' (like you forgot, ha!) that 'it could be worse'.  Those little words ... oh how I've wanted to punch whomever has chosen to utter them at the given times they have.  I hope you have a great howl at the moon if nothing else.

    i am sorry to read that your spirit is in the dumps Lucy. can you do yoga and stretch yourself in hope to feel better. or soak in a warm tub of epsom salt. there is not a thing about you that is plain dumb woman! so.... this is only a no-account spell occurring. enjoy the moon and howl till you feel better. xo take care ~see ya

    i'm curious as to what happened that's making you so blue, but i guess the details aren't really important or you would have posted them. hope you feel better soon.

    hey lucifiend! (er, i meant friend)!
    when all the chips are down, think of the 2 greatest blessings you've had lately:

    1. you have a trained husband who could release your whazzatagain?
    2. you have a doberman-looking dog who isn't a doberman but he's a great looker anyway.

    the two blessings are not necessarily in that order, and i'm sure in the frenzy of your sciatica pain, you won't confuse who's the trained one... ;-)

    ain't life so funny, it hurts when we laugh?

    Uni ~ Seems I am my own worse enemy...

    Star ~ I copy it loud and clear too

    Hege ~ don't you remind me too LOL

    MeMy ~ Well I wanna know when in the hell I'm gonna get or give myself a break.

    Trav ~ This has been playing out for some time now, one gets tired of trying to keep ones head above the water to only have a huge fucking wave push you under again.

    Moon ~ yes, two blessings, I could name more to be honest. Life hurts for sure, long time pain for very little gain right now but as you say - I'm counting my blessings.... life still hurts.

    Lucy hope the pain eases and you feel better soon.

    AWWWWW Lucy. I'm sorry. Way too much for you right now and I hope life lightens up a bit for you very soon. Feel better.

    Hey - you know that I have been in that same position over the last 2 and a half odd years.Just when you think that you have been able to get over one hill,then you realise that there is another 20 mile stretch of road in front of you,til you reach the next hill - and its even bigger.

    I have sat in the last 3 months or so,and asked myself 'is this what my life has amounted too? is this what I am going to have to look forward to for the rest of my life? But then,thats when the stubbornness thats in me and in all of us kicks in.There are times when its going to hurt,and then there are times when its not.Appreciate the times when it doesnt,and hang on to that feeling.

    I know that I have lost the plot on occasion,and am having a rough time right now,but thats what this site is for

    By the way - if the nerve is making your ass go black and blue - the blood is clotting somewhere,or hubby is doing it wrong.Maybe you should consult with Wishy,and see what she says - I habe always found her to be a wealth of knowledge with this kind of thing

    "KNOWING that at some point I WILL get it..."

    It seems like you're at a better position than most.  :)

    One of the many things I admire about you is your sense of optimism.  That in the end, things will be square.  There's quite a bit of comfort in that thought.  At least to me. 

    Things are rarely ever what they should be.  But I always see you making the best of whatever situation you happen to be in. 

    Keep it up.
