Nothing new with the Skeezyks... just more of the same old junk. And too late to do anything about any of it. It all becomes so tiring after a while. Most of the time I'll just be glad when it's finally over. Well... actually I won't be "glad" or anything else because there won't be any me to be tired of anything.

I've been doing a little bit better lately. I've been tending to some back burner things. But I still feel sad a lot. Anyway, I keep trying, when I can, & I see some progress that glves me hope. I wish all of you better days, & thank you very much for being here!!

My spouse and I were sitting on our little front patio this morning. It had been forecasted there'd be rain. However, the rain went south. The sky was full of wispy white clouds. I love clouds. And the thought occurred to me that, when I die and am cremated, I hope some of the molecules released from my body become part of the clouds.

Wow, Skeezyks, that is so beautiful! And I can relate to that, very well.

I came here this morning to vent, & I reread my last post, & I'm wondering if it might be misunderstood. So first, I wish to clarify. And I hope I don't need to apologize? I believe in God a jillion zillion percent!!!

I woke up this morning very sad, with tears & a lot of painful hurt. So I reached into my "bag of tricks" & remembered how coffee actually lifts my mood. So I got myself a cup of coffee, & it did lift me a little bit out of my sadness. Then, because I felt a little bit better, I decided to read some posts here. Well, maybe because I was thinking about others & less of myself, I felt less of my own sadness. So I guess that shows me that, for me, some coffee & thinking of others is like medicine. (I'm not currently on any prescribed meds.) Anyway, then I decided to post here because I kind of felt like venting? If that's what I'm doing.

Not too much to say today. It's been raining on-and-off. Yesterday was a scorcher! The temperature has moderated today. But it's supposed to get hot again this weekend. (I'm grateful for air conditioning.)

@Breaking Dawn : I'm glad you have your faith. There was a time, decades ago, when I tried to have or perhaps imagined I had. But I don't know as I ever really did. And I certainly don't now. But I think it would be nice to have a faith of one sort or another.

To me one either has faith or they don't. And I don't. I accept the explanation for the existence of life on earth that is provided by the theory of evolution. So, for me, when I die (which probably isn't that far off given my age) all that will remain will be a handful of ashes and (hopefully) some molecules that will rise up to join the clouds. (They can throw the ashes in the trash if it's legal to do so where I live.)

That all sounds like a real downer I suppose. However, for me, there's a certain comfort in the anticipation of oblivion. As has been said by others, such as Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson, we are star-stuff. The atoms that make up our bodies were forged in those first stars that burst forth to create our universe. And so, when I die, those little guys will simply return from whence they came... dust in the wind.

@Skeezyks, I love everything you are saying! I have many books, including by Carl, & I love Edgar Allan Poe's beautiful Eureka! I believe the atoms are intelligent. I believe God created all of it. And loves all of it.

The late Indian mystic, Ramana Maharshi (1879 – 1950) was quoted as saying: "They say I am dying. But I will be here more alive than ever. Where else would I go?"

Struggling a lot this week with mental and physical health issues, each is impacting the other, and not in a good way.
Trying to focus on other people and keeping as busy as I can manage so my thoughts don't start going down that dark hole....but it's always there, even if just lurking in the background.
Recent rupture with T has left me feeling more alone than ever.

I've been having similar symptoms, @East17. Almost no energy. But I don't have a T. And I don't feel alone. (I have the voices.)

Hello all... I haven't posted on this thread before but I decided to today because I'm just kind of taking a nose dive and have that gnawing empty feeling and a hard time being positive or hopeful about much of anything ... it doesn't really help to complain, I guess, but I thought I would post something and say that I am hoping you all had something (even if small) to look forward to today.

@Nix Welcome to the Misfits thread Nix. Sorry you're in one of those downhill spirals. Hope things begin looking up for you soon.
