Yep, it's pretty much that ODG.
Now there are fireworks going off a few times a day. It adds to the unrest.

Groundhog day. Now thats a great movie.

Ok, I'll agree that it can be tough as we move on. But that said, I'll mention that there was a message in the movie Groundhog Day, loved that movie. In the end he learned how to change his life and that's when he moved forward again. Just sayin'. :rolleyes:

Jar, on any given day we're given a choice and WE get to choose. We've all been in JR's place (sometimes twice a day) - I can allow the beast kick me in the sack or I can beat it to the punch. As we say in AA this is "hurricane season" - so prepare for the worst and the good stuff will be that that much sweeter.

I've spent entirely too much of my life waiting for the next shoe to drop - not much time left anymore. Screw the BEAST! Every chance I get to turn his "Shit Sandwich" into a Banquet I jump at it. Don't get me wrong there are days that the Beast succeeds and I am totally defeated. Trust me, on the whole, my win-loss record lately has embarrassed the Beast. So, tell him to "f*ck OFF" some time he actually does.

I don't know if it's easier once you accept the fact that it's always going to be a fight, everyday. I, too, just take it as it comes. I enjoy the good and deal with the bad, don't know what or how else to do it. For me, it works. Since there's less days ahead then behind I try to make each one count the best I can, can't really expect more than that. On the scale of things it's worse than some but certainly not as bad as others. And then there's getting older, which is full of it's own challenges; one day at a time.

All I can say is, I often wonder what things will be like for my generation when we get to ya'lls level of experience with the beast. It is beyond my scope of comprehension.

Heavily sedated. Aged and tired of the fight. I think that's what makes us feel it stronger. We have less resistance to it very much like a physical disease. I've gotten to the point that I squeeze out every tiny drop of anything approaching happiness. Because I don't know if there will be another. You become an excellent actor, putting up a facade of civilality.

That's about the best I can do.

I'm with you on that Sarge.
