my unconventional life :)

what's coming to me is that when I having been thinking about my future


i have been thinking of ideals. I kind of had to rethink this - and I have come


to see my life and its direction for its unconventional direction/style - I mean "What is


a conventional life anyway?" - I kind of stop myself when I don't fit an ideal -


so maybe it's time to start being a little more flexible - and proactive.


I don't see a way to plan my life for a pretty picture if it can be or cannot be.


(I really need to live


life for what I can do - and hold it as a "badge of courage" for surviving in the face of MI.)


I also know that I tend to want to think in terms of aesthetics of/for what to do and where


I will go - 


but that kind of, I think,has left me feeling and being a little passive (and really narrow in scope.)


This morning I woke up feeling dead lowly in life - and then I recalled a lesson to be


proactive about things - and then my day slowly turned for the better. It's weird


how low I felt - and I know now - I really need to lift the weights of life to build the day.


To reach out to others - to be something to someone besides myself and to be something for myself too.

I've learned positive self-talk and that helps me when I have my lows. It was hard to change my way of thinking from negative to positive, but it really made a difference in my life.

I think lots of people have low lows and then they bounce back. I know I have low periods. Mainly at night. Then I goto bed and sleep. Then when I wake, I feel better. Dunno. Hang in there Mark. You area nice guy. You are very thoughtful.
