Downer

Since the name of this blog is "All Right Here" I suppose sometimes all two of you will have to take the bad with the good. The bad being that right now, today, where I am, is rather overwhelmed. Beaten down. Just not feeling very victorious or successful. It's all just too much.

The thing that's the real kicker is that none of the things I'm struggling with right now have a name. There's no diagnosis to share, no tangible evidence to present. One just doesn't go around telling folks about one's secret struggles. Though of course it's all right to ask for prayer for medical issues and/or complain about financial woes.

But persistent doubt, lack of success in dealing with anger and impatience, strife between siblings, feelings of loneliness and "nobody understands me or even cares", wives and husbands who fail to love and respect each other properly... these we just don't bring up over tea or while chatting on the phone.

So there it is, I'm sorry for being a downer. Give me a few days and hopefully I'll be back to my annoyingly optimistic self.

Somebody please remind me of some good stuff.
