lost in a world of a downward spiral...

[galactic_spiral]

let me first begin with a cry out...i need help. There, its one of the hardest things to do. admit I don't know what i'm doing. Especially on something like lj, but i figure maybe if the rest of the people who say they're my friends know what's going on with me i'll get some good advice and start making my way up this bottomless hole i seem to

"Finish each day and be done with it. you have done what you could. some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." --Emerson

thought maybe that might help at least just a little; because you really do have to forget the past at least to some extent to really be able to move on to the future you want to have. I know you don't like my new job, but it has taught some fairly valuable lessons. like not looking back on yesterday, but always looking to tomorrow. and setting goals. I know this sounds very Project SUCCESS, but it works. you figure out what your goal is, and then break it down into little bitty steps to do each day and it makes it more manageable. so some day soonish perhaps we can sit down, and figure out what we need to do to make your life happier. and then break it down into manageable steps.

we're here for you, Alice, you just let us know what we can do to help. and if you don't know, we'll figure it out together.

That quote really does ring true and is really great. Knowing that you are there for me makes me feel really good and have a little hope for the future. I don't hate your job really, in fact i'm almost envious that you are out there doing it making it work and succeeding at it. You found something that you are really great at and you are go far with it. I am so proud of you Jo. I would really appreciate your help with the whole goal thing. I sometimes forget that I cannot take on so much in one day and that I really just need to slow down and take it one step at a time. Thank you so much. Love you
