When Did Life Get So Serious?

Had a nostalgic look back at our family photos tonight.  These pictures were taken May 2004 and somewhere between then and now I seem to have lost my va va voom!

At what point did life get so serious that I find it really difficult to enjoy myself.  Sure I will smile appropriately and have a laugh but I never really get into the moment, the here and now.  My brain is always one step ahead or checking me to make sure I behave in the right way - whatever that is.

There was another photo to accompany this one with my son and his face was just a picture of happiness.

    I know what you mean, Sue - my counsellor keeps encouraging me to do at least one thing I really enjoy (rather than have to do) per week, though she’d like it per day I think! Could be anything - going for a 10 min walk, sitting and watching the ducks, watching a half-hour comedy on TV or whatever - but do it!

    You deserve it. Hugs

    It’s alright to say ‘what about me’ once in a while and stop worrying about everyone else.
    Do not entertain conscious or subconcious emotional blackmail from yourself or others and don’t try being the proverbial peace keeper.
    and think about some pharmaceutical help it can be the difference in your life to give you your va va voom back! I did and I know it helps. x
