If our emotions are dependent on measurement and contrast, we will continually come up short, and either exist in perpetual dissatisfaction at best, or unhappiness at worst.  But we have the ability to see it differently—as an opportunity to weave our stories and pursue our dreams.

At that point, it becomes a blessed game, instead of a joyless series of arbitrary tests.

  1. Everything in life comes with challenges and opportunities. It is up to each to accept or decline. ☺

    1. I agree!

  2. We live each day and write our own stories. Experience both good and bad forms another chapter.

    1. Absolutely!

  3. As Number 71 in years comes around I have concluded ‘It an’t so bad’ is a good fall back position when facing a disappointment.
    You can work up from there.

    1. That’s one of the most wisest things I’ve ever heard! Indeed, you can achieve satisfaction—it is what it is, things are what they are—wherever you are so you can clear your head and get on with the task.

  4. Thanks. Nothing like a few disappointments to give you ‘range’.
    (The alternative being in the words of us supporters of the UK soccer team Aston Villa- underachievers supreme…..’It could be worse, you know,’😄)

    1. What’s strange is when folks go through the pain and they lose range, they withdraw into themselves and just become predictable shells that run the same programs and are generally miserable. Always weirds me out.

      1. Good point.
        Let’s hear it for Edison
        ‘I have not failed, I have merely found ten thousand ways which do not work,’

      2. Always loved that quote!

      3. One of the classics!

  5. We just need to believe in ourselves to play that blessed game!

  6. Just a way to see the other side- very nice

    Well said! “we have the ability to see it differently.” Yes.

    1. It’s crucial!

  8. I agree with you, that kind of contrast can be helpful. I’ve also seen it go like: “My 20 year old self would be disgusted with me right now.” I try to just stay in the mindset where I either find the joy or don’t compare at all. 😊

  9. Why worry your personality is your sail, your energy the breeze and your on the highest medium to express yourself! Success and satisfaction rarely co-exist, it is all about perception and i agree more carbs to balance your mood! The love of a good woman! master your orgasm or let me manifest your dreams for you!🌹

    1. Manifest away! But take note–I like hickeys on that muscle between my neck and my shoulder, so be ready to bite! 😂

      1. Oh my favourite! hope you don’t mine a little sexual snarling cos if so you just found a mate! Might even get that girth celebrated, hot tub in are you good in water or do we need a life jacket! lol😘🙌💋

      2. I love dirty talk and moans, I’m definitely an audio person! 😉 Not sure about the water–sometimes it interrupts the rhythm. 😅

      3. Hope floats! I forgot You like to be eau naturel! Bug ridden and bird nesty! i may need to invest in some waxing strips! It looks even better when your groomed! lol

        Rhythm is presumptuous! i plan for hours of fun! would presume 10 seconds! lol To tight remember six kids as Goddess and did not give a f/’#! who catches angels! lol

      4. I’m an hours-long pounder. I’m actually trying to learn how to do quickies! 😂

      5. Make me orgasm and watch! game over, you’ll be jacking off in recovery! lol

      6. no comment! really not biting today! Do you need me to manifest and cause another resuscitation! Or did you fall foul of my judicial negatives!

      7. Usually I take Fridays off completely from social media. Nice mini reset.

      8. Yeh i randomly like to turn of the worlds life support, un reverse parameters and see who is allowed to be present when i am not getting my own way! Friday nigh is turn up the volume, back to whatever decade i fancy to party in and a small blackout…or stroll into vatican saint hood while my once religious friends get terminated for being locked in my body at 1% 🎉🎶💕lol… best way to send them off!

      9. Well delete off some of your entourage, mind ythen you would be a ten second wonder! you been collecting failed attenders who can’t be bto find their own to play with! lol

  10. Nice Narrative
