Fed up with it all
Posted by Shirley Anne on August 21, 2010
Deep in my heart I am very happy. I have a loving Father who cares for me and He shows it! However, there are times in my life when I am just fed up with it all. life, its problems, its routine. It’s as though I wished for something completely different, a new direction, a new reason to eke out my existence here on Earth. If I were in my forties I guess you might say I was having a mid-life crisis but I am long past that stage. I get these feelings from time to time and I suppose I am not alone in that respect. Life can be difficult and it can be plain-sailing as the saying goes and we each get a share of both. In a way you could say I was just having a little moan about life in general and you would be right. That in itself won’t change a thing of course and I’ll have to simply endure my feelings for I know they are but transitory. Tomorrow, or even today, I will most probably feel the opposite. One thing is for sure, life goes on regardless. Have a nice weekend.

O crumbs. I’ve been away from my computer for a little while and there are 10 posts from my friend Shirley Anne! Don’t know how you do it, love.
There’s not one of us, I’m sure, who hasn’t wished that they could strike out in new direction in life. The very fact that you’re called Shirley Ann means that you’ve been pretty successful in that, but I know what you mean. As we get older the options seems to narrow and we have to live with the consequences of decisions we made years, or even decades, before.
My philosophy is simple; I want to keep travelling and never feel that I’ve arrived – well not in this world! Despite how mundane daily life may feel, there are always new people to meet, new experiences to gain and – until the day comes when they confine me to bed and wrap me in nappies – new places to discover.
Roll on tomorrow. I know you’ll feel different.
Lots of love,
Angie xx

Hi Angela. I like your idea of constantly travelling but never arriving. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head but as for meeting people, well, that is something I do most every day.
I do tend to write a lot don’t I? I guess that’s the woman, lots to say! You seem to have been enjoying the freedom from your recent captivity……no wonder you’ve no time for your blog….hope things continue to go well for you. Love
