I hope you’re not serious.

Yes, you’re all correct about the cause of the miserable holidays. And…I continue to learn valuable lessons as a result that I desperately needed to learn 100 years ago. Better late than never. Also, I have very strong feelings that good things are on their way. Of course you can rarely tell the time frame attached to such feelings. I’m doing my best to find the good in everything and getting some practice with patience.

Chantal, how would you describe living pain to the fullest?

I’m guessing it has something to do with some Facebook relationship status changes I saw. As to how I deal with things not going my way (not referring to relationships in particular though), I tend to take responsibility for anything that could remotely be perceived as within my control, and then I get depressed about how flawed I am and how unlikely it seems that I’ll change. Not so constructive.

Just remember, that no matter what life deals you, it doesn’t change the fact that you are an amazing person, even during a miserable Christmas.

I think I know what you are referring to in a veiled manner, and I am sorry.

Hummm…how do I deal with hard things…honestly, I really do try to grow, insofar as I am aware of things that I can change. Generally if things didn’t work out and I feel like there was something I could have done better, I read, read, read about it and try to learn all that I can and try to learn how to change. And apply what I learn next time the opportunity comes.

In the hard times remember that life will bring you both pleasure and pain. Live both to the fullest. I love you Shaun!!

I probably don’t work as hard on it, but when something is not going how I like, or I’m not as happy as I want to be, I find myself sorting through my life looking for what can go, what needs to change, or what I can do better/different. I think if one isn’t happy, that’s a big sign that says something needs to change, and it would be silly and a waste of life to ignore that. (even if it means changing your environment completely – which definitely isn’t always easy.)

I hope the work you’ve put into making things better brings beautiful results!!! You deserve to be happy! I love you and I think you are the greatest!!! Give us a call if you ever want to stop by, hang out, or talk! 🙂
