Case of the Monday's...

Wow. So it's Monday and I definitely have a case of the Monday's going on. Do you ever just feel blah? That's not a very good adjective, but I have been in this blah mood since yesterday...I didn't want to get up and come to work today. Though, I couldn't spend any more time in bed b/c that's pretty much all I did yesterday. As goregous as it was, all I did was lay in bed, watch movies and feel blah...

I know it'll go away, but in the mean time when I feel like this, I do a lot of self reflection. Not always a good thing to do when you are already feeling a little off. I don't know. I guess I am just trying to figure out why I am the way I am at times. Mostly, why I let the past influence my here and now as much as I do. It's true that you learn from your past, but at times, letting your past experiences influence the current situation isn't always for the best. Mostly what I am getting at is just b/c things turned out one way in one situation, doesn't mean that the same outcome is going to result now. I am probably not making any sense...

In a way I kind of feel like I am being punished for letting past experiences that have influenced or effected me, play a part in my life today. I guess you'd have to know what those are, but I am not really in the mood to share those. Mostly I just wanted to take a minute to jot down how I was feeling so I could figure out how to get out of the blah mood I am in. Betrayal can be a wicked thing that just never lets it's victims be whole again. That's where I am at. Throughout my adult life I have been betrayed or lied to on several occasions, so it's very difficult for me not to expect that now. I am very trusting. I have a hard time seeing the faults in those people that I care about. Or maybe not so much that I have a hard time seeing the faults, but I make excuses for them. I allow certain behaviors and as a result I get mad at myself when I do. I'll think or feel but not say anything to directly address the issue. I attribute it to the fact that I am afraid how they will react. I am afraid that b/c I share how I feel they may not agree and in turn rather then try to see my point or understand how or why I feel the way I do, they'll just close up, and go on about their own way. Never understanding that all I ever wanted in the first place was the best for them...If it weren't for my past I wouldn't be who or where I am today, however, at times that isn't always a good thing. Sometimes the past best be forgotten, but that is very difficult to do.

Anyway, BLAH. That is how I feel today. I know, I know, boo-hoo right? Like I said, I'll get over it but for now I am going through a case of the Monday's. Thankfully, Tuesday is just around the corner...

Oh, Becky, I am sorry you had the "blahs" yesterday. :( I hope you are feeling better today! Thinking of you... I love you for WHO YOU ARE! And, yes, it is those things from our past (be they good or bad), that shape who we are, from day to day and year to year...

You are wonderful. :) Wish we could get together for coffee right NOW!
