I understand what you are saying. I just think that I have to try new things in order to meet new people. It is hard for me to get motivated sometimes. I have my days that I am in great space, and ready to get in to the newness of my life, then I have days that I just want to crawl back under the covers and hide. I just don't want to waste time. I know that it is so precious. I want to go for walks with my dogs. I like to bargain shop too, and I went to Goodwill and bought something that I've put off forever. I bought a ladies Schwinn bicycle for $10.00. It has been sitting outside yelling at me to get on it and go for a ride. The garage sales here are great. I loaded up on sweaters for when the cold weather comes, since I hardly had any in Florida. I think I spent on the many that I bought, what it would have cost for one in a department store. Anyway, I just take one day at a time. I try to push myself when I am less motivated, and go for it when I am motivated. I even work at motivating myself. For me, it's an inside job. I can't rely or believe in anyone getting me to do things, but me. Well, that's it for now. I hope that you have a great weekend

I have days like that also. Motivating myself can b a difficult job. I think I have been depressed for quite some time. After I lost my beloved father from cancer almost two years ago, life has never been the same for me. I have so many days in my life that I go about my day, pretending that I am so into whatever I am doing, but deep inside, if I let myself, I could just sit and cry. I scold myself for not getting involved with some kind of work, and yet when I have the time to do volunteer work, I will sit at home by myself. Moving to Florida for me was a good thing as far as the weather goes. Back in Indiana, the dreary weather, rain, clouds, and snow is a thing that happens more often than not through out the year,so with more sunshine here, that forces me to be alittle more up beat. I am glad we chat back and forth. It may help the both of us to learn more about what makes each of us tick. If you want to write to my email address, it is tellmenolies2004@yahoo.com. Just make sure you put something in the subject line that identifies who you are, or I may delete it thinking it spam. I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy God's beauty
