"Looking forward." Has PN taken that away from me, too?

When I wake up I thank the Lord that I woke up alive! Then I try some positivity like "Ok Mike, get your ass out of bed and don't waste this day because nothing is guaranteed in life". Ray you sound like a wonderful person who would be a good friend! Sometimes we all need to force ourselves to have a good time. Once we get where we are going, enjoy whatever and wherever it is. And if it's sometimes hard on you, there is no reason not to return to where you came from and try again tomorrow!

I applaud all you say, Mike! (Well, I'm not too sure about me being a "wonderful person," that's debatable 🙂 ) I do think at times we have to force ourselves to have good times –– force, or prod, or at least give ourselves a good (silent) hard talking-to. That talking-to is what I use my morning journal for. That friend with whom I'll be having phoned only minutes ago ("Are we still having coffee?") I feigned shock ("WHAT? Have I ever backed out of us having coffee?") to which my buddy laughed. As did I. One thing I am going to do (suggested by a fellow Peer via a private message) is suggest to my friend that from now on we meet in the morning when my PN is not nearly as bothersome (not a wobbly). Renewing the good life, insofar as it's possible (and often that's not an easy thing to do) is what being your own best friend is all about. Have a great day, Mike. Have a great day tomorrow, too! ––Ray
