Funny, just yesterday I was feeling depressed and just tired. Not just all the negatives in the world we live in, but just tired in general. My gumption and drive are not what they use to be, some physical, some mental. I shield myself pretty good from social media stuff (I'm not on facebook, I don't do instagram, tiktok can kiss my grits, I don't watch streaming news, my computer fires up without news feeds) but I do get down about all kinds of stuff, mostly my physical condition, money, time and geography limitations. I generally can pull myself out of my funks when I do as folks are describing above, count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. Ha ha, tune wedgy for you old school Baptist folks! I'm also reminded of a Tim McGraw song regularly, "I have a life that most would like to have but sometimes I still wake up fighting mad." It's all relative to a reference point, I tend to get my brain back in balance when I think about all the positives and blessings that are all around me. This might sound negative, but I think about how much worse it could be and how stupid I am being. So no, you are not alone, but you have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and ride it out, figuratively and literally if you can. Here, I will give you something to do. Go for a ride to somewhere you have never been, get out the map, find something historic, a museum, a church, a bridge, old barn, battle site, old fort, maybe an old fart you know or your old stomping grounds. Clear your head and reassess things. Make goals, make plans and then work your plan. You know how when you are riding and you look at the big rock and then hit the big rock.....stop it, look at the good line and take the good line!!!!
