I think I take myself too seriously. My husband has commented on it a few times and I think it has a lot to do with my mood swings. I have to learn not to take everything, especially myself, too seriously. I guess I’m too serious for my own good sometimes. It’s just that I’ve had a lot of bad things happen and I have the tendency to become pessimistic. I call myself a pessimistic optimist because no matter how bad things get I can always find the silver lining. I try my best to see the good in people while keeping in mind that there are a lot of bad things out there and I have to watch out for myself. And the most important thing is that I always remind myself that there are so many people out there who are less fortunate than I am. I love my life. I have a wonderful husband who loves me and whom I love back with my whole heart. We have two dogs who are just the sweetest. My family and in-laws are all in good health. We have a roof over our heads and a stocked fridge and pantry. We have clothes on our back. There are so many things to be thankful for…
