life is like a roller coaster

I haven't written in some time. I have been side tracked, as life tends to do that to you. Don't you sometimes feel you are on a roller coaster ride, and you want to get off? Or you can't see that big dip and are feaing when you will begin to go down? I am not depressed but it feels as if every day is a test. When negative things are happening, and the dip is getting steeper it is difficult at times to realize that it is how we react to it that matters.

Worry, panic and fear get us nowhere. If we can release all that and recognize the things we have no control over, it is so much easier to get through the day.

My biggest concern lately is finances, as I am sure it is for a lot of people. I think of that Police song, "We are spirits in the material world." When we really step back out of our own head that is all that we really are. Nothing else matters. Isn't there more to life than what we see around us. The answer is yes!!

I am still discovering who I am and how I can manage and what I want to do with my life!! At times I feel content, and at other times I feel restless and know that there is more.

I am thinking that this is a spiritual quest. Searching for what is beyond our physical world, and recognizing that what we think and feel and how we react determines whether we enjoy the roller coaster ride or we fear it.

Today, I will concentrate on the enjoyment and not let life's events that I am not enjoying. I will focus on the positive.

For now I must sign off to wake up my son for a community service project for Boy Scouts.
