“Sometimes...when you hold out for everything, you walk away with nothing.”

Yeah, that and I'm a total LOSER.

You know how over there on my little profile, it says "I want to go down swinging"?

Well, I'm sure as hell going down.

j, it's better to go down and be able to walk away with nothing sometimes... we all do go down now and again... how we go through it makes all the difference...

you'll be up again soon. you've got all the support your heart can stand.

besides, I know the view from the bottom as always bad until you realize you have to look up...
I've been there enough to know...

You're not a loser. Dennis and Trey are right. We all go down sometimes. It's a part of life. YOu wrote a post earlier about favourite quotes and I forgot to include this one:

"We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"

-Oscar Wilde

Someone once told me "It doesn't matter if your glass is half-empty or half-full; just be glad you have a glass at all."

After I kicked his ass, I thought about that. I guess it means it's important to stay hydrated. Or was it, Wwhen life tests your mettle, make lemonade? Anyway, hang in there. Things will work out.

I perused your photos (as a further attempt to procrastinate) and I am (a.) jealous immensely of your travels. You have no idea what a favor you did yourself- taking the time to see the world on your own terms. I long to see again that which I took for granted, and to make up for what I missed when I LIVED there.... and (b.) because I am a happily married woman I can say that you are quite the hottie, and should you ever visit NM, my husband's single twin sister would think so too. :) Hang in there J., and I look forward to chatting with you s'more.

Take the time it takes to heal. You know how that works. There's no reason to try to avoid it; it is necessary to go through these pains in order to grow and be wise (not that I am all that wise either). besides, J, if life was always peachy, how would one know how good that is?

Just wanted to stop in and say hey. Haven't had time to catch up on your recent posts, but hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. And hey, nothing wrong with 'swinging' or 'going down!'

Leave it to Manic to make a crass comment! Cheers!
