Happiness And Sadness

Isn't it strange how these two emotions, happiness and sadness, that really are eachother's oposites, can occur pretty much at the same time?

I have had that kind of day today! I recieved the happiest kind of news this morning, when I found out that I had gotten a new little sister. Everything had worked out fine, the delivery took about three hours and everything is well with mother and child, but despite that I have had the most depressing day ... *sigh*

I know that certain thngs in my life aren't working out great at the moment, and I know that's where most of my sadness is coming from, but somewhere deep inside I know that there are good stuff as well in my life now ... but for some reason or other, those things don't seem that important right now. Which is a shame of course! Wouldn't life be greater if you could focus on the positive rather than the negative aspects?!?!? Guess I'm a born pessimist ...

I do hope I will feel better in the morning, because there are lots of things I need to start dealing with and getting done. This includes emails, so I'd like to make an official apology to everyone who awaits an email from me - I promise I haven't forgotten you, and I hope I can get around to sending lots of emails tomorrow ... *fingers crossed*

Sorry to say I don't have any pictures of my newest little sister. I know there weren't a lot of picctures taken, and considering the fact that my Dad think all computers are evil and just waiting to blow up in his face, I hardly see myself getting any either ...
I will however visit them in about a week, next weekend, and then I promise to take TONS of pictures, so I have a lot to share when I get back! :-)
I really should start making some graphics with the pictures I took over the holidays too, I have totally neglected my "Little Sister Graphics" website lately. Guess I'll have to rename it to "Little SisterS Graphics" now though! *lol*

I do hope my mood will start to improve from now on, so I can get started on those kinds of things. I'd also like to get started on my other blogs (and I have plans for yet another blog *lol*), updating my Les Misérables website, see if I can pour some life into my Les Miz Forum etc etc. I certainly have a lot of things to occupy myself, but knowing me, I won't do any of it, unless my mood improves a bit. *fingers crossed*

I know how it feels with those pessimistic emotions :( I am quite filled with them as well, about every day. Maybe things will turn out for the better some time in the future... let's just take one day at a time =)

Thanks for understanding! I have certain periods of my life when most everything feel awful, but like you said; I think the only thing to do is just trying to cope with one day at a time, and sooner or later things will have to change!

I agree..it's really a shame we can't just focus on the good things that happen and ignore the bad...but it's SO hard!

I know a few times I've been able to focus on the positive things and just forget about the negative things (and in doing that the negative stuff that happened never seemed so bad), and that of course felt great. But usually that's not possible. The negative thoughts just take over.... :(

But like Sandra said, I guess we can only take it one day at a time, and hope for the best...

*hugs*

Thanks ... yeah, on the odd occasion I have managed to focus on the positive as well - but it certainly is hard, that's for sure ...
Still, the bad days pass, just as the good ones, and that's always something to hold on to, when it seems bad ...

Exactly :)
