This has happened to me a lot too. What has happened more is when life seems to be doing good for me and it seems to start trending up, then something stupid happens to put me back down to where I started. I sometimes wonder if something or someone is watching us and only allowing us to advance to a certain degree. Call it coincidence, but it feels like something controlled to me. Maybe I am just paranoid. Or maybe these things happen as a sign that I need to pay attention to those things and change them.
