Maybe only borderline, but you are used to a daily routine, so maybe you just need to change what you do one day.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe you are just waiting for the snow to fly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601422.post-1159465289873770782006-09-28T13:41:00.000-04:002006-09-28T13:41:00.000-04:00I like Fitzy's idea.

Maybe focus on the recipient and how you will be bringing joy to her/his life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601422.post-1159459273019276862006-09-28T12:01:00.000-04:002006-09-28T12:01:00.000-04:00I read your post before bed last night and decided...I read your post before bed last night and decided to think about it. I guess I'd just consider it temporary apathy. <BR/><BR/>IMHO - you have 2 choices. Go with the flow, or make a change.<BR/><BR/>What about your DAILY RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS???<BR/><BR/>87 shopping days til Christmas, sounds like a fine time to begin focusing on others.<BR/><BR/>Hugs and a hot cuppa?

Only after a year or so did I realize it was a permanent part of his personality. Cynical is his guiding philosphy. It's a buzz-kill, to say the least, and it really drags me down. Since "there's nothing wrong with [him]," my challenge is to find joy in my life despite HIS lack of joy in his own. Usually I succeed, but sometimes he wins.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking at the title of your blog and wondering if you need to take the hint. Are you doing morning pages? I think they would help--at least to define what's particularly troubling right now. And as a means to vent somewhat constructively. I'm pullin' for you, kid.Jane Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837023618342835038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601422.post-1159419073814149872006-09-28T00:51:00.000-04:002006-09-28T00:51:00.000-04:00I don't know the answer.

I realize it, oh so clearly, but I don't know how to change it or even how to change my feelings about it, which I've always been able to do before. No, it's not depression. It's something else. Maybe it's boredom, or cynicism. If you figure it out, please let me know. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for putting a vague (but pervasive) feeling into words.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728394027261108470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14601422.post-1159409621255221792006-09-27T22:13:00.000-04:002006-09-27T22:13:00.000-04:00When I feel like that, I shake it up.

Talk to an old friend you haven't talked to in a year or two. Go on an overnight trip somewhere you have never been. Get up in time for a sunrise, or stay up late and sleep in (if you are usually up early). I am sure you can think of something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
