Health, wealth and happiness

WARNING - THIS POST MAY PUT YOU OFF EVER COMING HERE AGAIN, SORRY!


How is it possible that I have NO MOTIVATION to run. Even though I posted about enjoying it and really when I go I think I do I just can't do it.

As a christian I know all the things in my title shouldn't really be what I yearn for but when there are bills we can't pay, depression I can't fathom and a desperation to be thin but can't stop eating and can't bring myself to exercise how can I say they don't.

Sorry if that doesn't make any sense at all but this post is really to get it off my chest and to document my feelings of failure in most, no all things to do with me

oh my dear, when I saw you this morning at church, I knew things we far from right. I know, also, that you don't beleive it yourself but you are a beautiful amazing and vibrant person....I wish you could see what we all see. In the words of Psalm 30, I pray that God will turn your sorrow into dancing. IN the words of Job 8 that he will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. Romans 15: 13 " May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in your faith, that by the power of the Holy Spirit, your whole life and outlook may be radiant with hope."

Sorry this is long. Keep going babe. xx

Oh Vix.....sending you a big, warm hug across the pond!
I have never even met you and I think you are fabulous! I understand about the depression--I was diagnosed with major depression while I lived in England. It's a hard thing to fight and overcome, but it IS possible! Look for all the little positives around you and hold onto them. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself celebrating all the little things and looking for more little bright spots! I hope you enjoy your sisterly bonding time this weekend.

Hey it's okay to have days like this where we admit our frustrations. It would be worse if you were in denial. I know it will get better for you, God Bless!

I'm not going to repeat what's been said above as it may seem trite, but it's all true. I've gotten to a point were I have to take each day as it comes and not think too much about the future otherwise I go way down. I appreciate the financial worries - hey, doesn't everyone? It seems no matter if your income is high or low, everyone has their own individual concerns over money issues, so take heart that a lot of people around you are in the same boat even if we have to use our own oars (I know what I mean, I hope you can figure it out).
Love you guys loads
I'd love to give you advice about getting out to run, but I've been trying to find that motivation to get fit for years and I still can't find it - oh, look...a cream cake...maybe I'll find it in there!
God bless!

I have had many days, weeks even months where I looked up and asked "why me?"
Hang tough.

Hey, things will get better, it is such a wretched time at the moment financially, not just for you but for us all. I KNOW you are special, beautiful with 3 adorable children. Yes they can be a pain, all children can, but I am very, very proud of the way you and B are bringing them up. They are an absolute joy. You have a wonderful family, a lovely home, a husband who adores you and is in work and more importantly, spring is on its way. Hang in there darling. I love you guys. Don't cry for too long once you have read this, watch Mama Mia again :-)

Hope things are better for you now. You REALLY are amazing. Don't know how you do it with 3 kids and a dog, and ... We love you and will see you in about 5 weeks. LOVE, MIL
