Perhaps think about things that make you happy. I know if things aren’t going well for me in one (or more) aspects of my life, I tend to make another aspect of my life, better, even if it is something productive (fixing things around the house, yard, garden, etc). There is a little scarification in seeing that I fixed something or did something with my own 2 hands.

If I am really lucky and have enough household things checked off my list, I enjoy spending time on recreational activities. If those opportunities aren’t avail, I do more research on them so when the time comes, I am more prepared and excited to do so. Sometimes it just involves watching YouTube videos on things
That I do to get me excited.

A little bummed tonight because I have to work half day in the AM, but then when I get home i “get to” work on my dirt bike. It’s kinda been a PITA lately, as I have gotten a bunch of new parts for it and many of them have required mods and have taken a lot more time to put together than anticipated. In the process the garage is a freaking mess and I can’t find many of my tools, but I need to get the dumb thing finished and then clean the dang garage.

Can’t sleep at the moment because my wife and I got in a little disagreement before bed and now I am so ticked that I can’t sleep. I’m sure we will work it out tomorrow

Just remember that everyone has ups and downs. Try to remember and look forward to the ups and realize that the downs are only temporary. Know that, even tho it may not always seem like it, there are a LOT of people in your life that love you and miss you and there isn’t anyone in their life that could ever replace you. Even tho they may not verbalize this, I can promise that this is true.

We are pulling for you, good luck brother!
