Today I feel...

Confused. I don't understand some peoples' thought process. Yes, we're all entitled to our own opinion, but when things seem so blatantly, in-your-face obvious {like being lied to about horrific things, over and over again}, how can people look the other way and make such bad decisions? This doesn't just pertain to the election - there are many examples of this in people I know.

It's making me question people and everything I know, which is very uncomfortable. Perhaps this is part of maturing?

Upset.

Down. Mostly stemming from the election {which I'm shocked is affecting me so much}, but about some other things too. Seems to be hitting hard as I enter my hormonally emotional time.

Pissed off. It's true, I secretly want to remove all liberals from my FB friends list. But I won't - I read their posts with an open mind, but then I roll my eyes at their general selfishness and ridiculousness.

Pensive. There must be some higher plan, something we don't know about yet. I believe that all things, good and bad, happen for a reason. Time will only tell what that reason is.

Restless.

During my workout this morning {30 minutes on the stairmaster to burn those buns!}, a million thoughts were running through my head. Only were they calmed when - this sounds totally cheesy - I heard the song by John Cougar Mellancamp "Jack & Diane" where he says, "...life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone..." Like I said, TOTALLY cheesy, but it gave me my mantra for the day - no matter what, LIFE GOES ON. We get up, go to work, and live our lives every day with little control over the "big picture." No sense in dwelling on what we can't control.

  1. Hope you're in a happier place now my conservative friend ... you're such a friendly, sweet person even though we're on different sides of the political spectrum I think if we had a chance to hang out more we'd be good friends ... we just won't discuss politics ; )

    1. Aww, thanks Shannon! I'm getting there - I've shifted my focus to moving on and worrying/taking care of myself and our family.

      I feel the same about you, and I definitely hope we can get together more! I'm going to make more of an effort to spend time with friends - it's good for me, and I need to do it more!

      We'll avoid talking politics - isn't that supposed to be "off limits" anyway ;-)
