I'm in a slum drum. I have no motivation. I am so tired all the time. I have had a tummy ache for a week now. (I think I have an ulcer) I have been eating out of control hoping that everything and anything will sooth the gut. I continue to put on weight instead. My body is in rigamortis stage. I have a bum leg/foot. I feel like my life is falling apart. My house is falling apart. My desire for anything is falling apart. Our race is getting closer and I haven't even started training yet. My spare room is a disaster! My photos and paper work is a mess. I get jealous when others are excelling in areas that I want to also. I am happy for them but I want them to take me with.
Then I get really depressed because I have no reason to complain.
We have fairly good health.
We are employed. (Even though Doran came home the other day stressed and worried that his company will shut down)
We have family that love us.
We have a great marriage.
We are out of debt.
I know who I am.
Heavenly Father loves us.
There are many that are worse off.
THIS list goes on and on.
Then why do I feel this way?
I need to set goals. I need to work toward my goals.
I need to pick myself up by the boot straps and move on....
but I am too tired. WHERE do I begin?
Today's Thought
"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Begin again at the top of your list that begins "we have fairly good health" and keep reading. The repeat.
I love you!!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's ALWAYS tomorrow!...
xo
("then" repeat).
Love your guts! Start with one thing at a time, otherwise you will get discouraged.
You'll be fine.
I suggest that you begin on your knees.
Then do one thing.
Get it done.
And pat yourself on the back!

Oh mama I'm so sorry you are so down. I know that just you being my friend brings me joy and happiness. I think the world of you and appreciate your kindness to me. Just work on getting that foot better and don't worry about the race now. If you can't run it that's okay. There will always be another race down the road. The number one thing is getting that foot better! As far as all those other things bothering you, just take one project at a time and just one day at a time. You'll get there. Let me know if you need to do a challenge together. I'm always game for a challenge. Love ya!♥
It's the pits to be in the pits! Hang in there! You'll get feeling better - but in the mean time...review your list of blessings.
I totally know how you feel, but I love your thankful list. Good luck with your foot and your race!
