I'm still trying to decide what I want for supper. :shrug:

Most of it.

Sometimes less control makes things better.

That's part of having control over it. One way of doing so.


The way I interpret this is to allow less external control and more internal control. Externally, allow things to happen as they play out. Internally I should have more control over my thoughts to steer them into a more positive light thus improving my outlook. My brain is like a car. If I let go of the wheel it will drive itself into a ditch.

On another note, allowing less control is still controlling more if that makes any sense.

Lace-Bane is thinking he may try and finish learning "Nothing else matters" on his guitar. He knew most of it 9 years ago, but when he failed playing it on stage... he didn't like that and despised the song. Lace-Bane now thinks he should relearn the song and regain some confidence he lost back then :?.

I'm wondering why I'm feeling down and trying to remind myself not to dwell on it.

Lace-Bane: Conquer that song, beat it into submission.

Kaybee: Steer the car away from the ditch. (reference to previous page)


On my mind: There is a support group meeting tomorrow night and I have avoided going in the past. Will I continue this trend?
Also, I dread having to wake up in 5 hours.

I can't sleep but that's okay because it should be an easy day tomorrow. I miss my babe and I've been talking about him a lot on here, but that's cause I haven't been able to see him as much as I'd like to due to my crap schedule at school. I'm gonna attack him with "lovesies" when I finally get to see him. :mrgreen:

I agree, Lace-Bane should conquer that song! And thank you. ^_^ I have been spending my day continually grabbing the wheel as it tries to veer off to the side, but it seems to be working out for me. I'm hoping with practice that alignment will correct itself. ;)

Go to sleep, man! That's not healthy.

It's a beautiful song, NcNbl. I wonder who it reminds you of? :wink:

I'm thinking I'm just starting to get a headache and it's time for some excedrin. It's better than putting a Goodys (powdered asprin) in your mouth. :tongue: YUK!

How I seemed to go back to a happier time in my life after my second depression, or midlife crisis.
