This month I have been consuming two books, one on audio and the other on my Kindle. I have admittedly shared before on my blog that I am a worrier, and for me it is dibilitating at times. I am also a procrastinator. Furthermore, I worry about being a procrastinator. Next, my mind is very good at judging me, and while sometimes that helps me do things that accomplish goals, often those judgements just beat me up and wear me down. Yeah, I intellectually get that my circumstance is not unique. Bottom line, I can’t seem to successfully live by the rules my mind makes up for me. It’s tiring, and often even depressing.

How are you doing? Me? Tough to say sometimes. I think I am doing well. I am not a “happy-go-lucky” type of person. Actually, if I was going to give a color to my disposition, it would be a dark color. Maybe the same gray as a Seattle sky in the winter. This year has started off as an incredibly crazy one. There were many things that needed to be taken care of that weren’t in my plans.
I have learned that it's worth the disappointment. It's worth the discouragement. It's even with the battles with depression. It's perspective. It's how I choose to look at it, and accept things. I decided at some point to no longer care about how I measure up to others. Let them chase their success, while I define my own.
