I sometimes feel that I am an ungrateful, petulant, slob. I get so caught up in the day-to-day work hassles and challenges that I do not reflect adequately on good things, on positive things, on people I should be more appreciative of. I sometimes feel that the myriad of stresses I have to wade through day-to-day are really reflections of my failing as a person. Everyone has hardships. Everyone has stress. Everyone has rough things happen to them. But, I believe in my heart that if I could only muster up enough strength, enough fortitude, enough resolve.... to look beyond all the "crap" I would be a far kinder, more helpful person and be better for those around me. That I do not work up that strength in myself makes me frustrated. Sometimes I think it is because I feel tired, but that is really only an excuse. I need to work harder to be a better person.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
If you are always tired have you seen a doctor? It may be a physical element that is bringing you down. Something as simple as not enough iron for instance.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when I get grumpy, I then realize that I am tired.
