Do you ever get....tired?

SN Greg Wright — Sat, 12 Sep 2015 19:38:05 -0400

If life keeps beating you down, over and over, relentlessly, overwhelmingly...does it ever become ok to just...become weary? When it tantalizes you with some fresh new situation that infuses you, for one more day, with the ability to function and then crushes you flat...time and time again...isn't there some line where it becomes ok to just...fucking...get tired of it?

Edit: Meh. Re-reading this it comes across as whining. Sigh. That wasn't my intention. I genuinely think there has to be some ephemeral line in the sand where you can decide you've done all you can.

Just one of those days.

Oh there are many times where I am sick and tired of the bull! Just seems like your pounding your head on the wall for no reason. So go around it then. Eventually things do change and things start moving in the right direction, through persistence.

SN Greg Wright, I'm not tired and not tired of my life. I've learned the hard way to put it in Gods hands. I've got way to much to look forward to. My seven grandchildren gave me a new perspective on life. Sure my wife and have issues over various things, but that's what they are, things. Nothing we can do about anything once it's been done. We have been through more in 38 years of marriage,than most go through in a lifetime. No, we're not weary at all. We're glad we made it through out tragedies together.

Yes. Over whelmed. Tired and more tired. Not enough sleep....but I just keep pushing through. Sometimes I wish there were three of me.
Sometimes we just need to let it all out...just as you did here. Hope it helped. :-)

I sure as hell do but honestly, I don't think that I've never been depressed or bored with life. When I start to get tired of people around me and when things start to go bad, I just take a good look around me and I can see that my life isn't that bad after all. Life is what we make of it. We do have choices and it's up to us to make the right choice. They say that God will never give you more than you can't handle. Sure, my plate gets full, I sometimes get overwhelmed but I always pull myself up because I have a real purpose in life, a direction and that is to do and be the best that I can. My stress relieve is and has always been playing my horn. I've been playing the trumpet since I was eight years old and when I get down, I grab that horn and play away! It's great and everyone around me loves to hear me play. Hell, I even played for President Kennedy at his Inauguration. Yep, sometimes things really appear to suck and I just want to say "fuck it." But just take a moment and look at all the gifts that God has given you and you will see that life really isn't that bad after all. Just take life as it comes, one day at a time. WTF-Over?

SN Greg Wright I guess I'm the "energizer bunny". I'm going on all cylinders and never really get tired of anything at all. I enjoy working 12 hours a day and love every challenge that life throws at me. Been that way for the longest time, even when I've fallen on tough times. I have no room to be tired about anything. I guess I'm one of the fortunate people in the world. I like to help veterans, so if your feeling down, drop me a message and let's see if we can't find away to get out of the funk and back into that PMA Mode (Positive Mental Attitude) Mode!
