Bout a week ago at my job, I,m sulking in my office saying to myself,you know I been doing this for 31 years and now its falling apart,my boss is doing my job,people just don't care no more,poor me I just feel like quittin this mess...etc..I let it sink in for short period, asked God to help me just do the best I can in the situation and stayed away from apathy,that I could easily have jumped into if I didn't work the situation..It was actually a thin line between self pity and resentment...

I think self pity is not healthy thinking especially with permant medical problems. I helped cause my problems,I am not looking for pity for the damage I caused.I think of each day as a new one ,standup , smile ,pray to the Higher Power for giving me another day clean and alive.
