Tired
I’m tired
I’m tired of crawling inside of a bottle only to come out again and find that nothing has changed
I’m tired of striving to become better at a job for people for whom I have no respect for
I’m tired of my wife’s menopausal, bi-polar, insecure craziness….over and over day in and day out.
I’m tired of being unable to ruin my life without ruining the lives of my children.
I’m tired of being constantly reminded of all the things I have not accomplished and looking forward to never accomplishing them.
I’m tired of falling victim to the agendas of others.
I’m tired of the disingenuous who will praise with one face and demean with their other.
I’m tired of wishing I had more, could do more, could give more. I’m tired of the sun coming up each and every day. I’m tired of stupidity, ignorance, selfishness, greed, and intolerance (or is that my own intolerance?)
I’m tired of all my friends being 300 miles away.
I’m tired of my family being farther away even when we are in the same room.
Merry Christmas….don’t mind me.
I’m just tired

Well said…you are not alone.

I’m tired too. Yes, you are not alone (what a lovely concept!). Falling, as the snowflakes on your page………………

Every single sentence you have written, I know very well. Today is our last day. Wonder if it will get better.

You don’t really give a lot of response or feedback or comments to your “reply”. I wonder why. I often think of you out in no where land. But people are responding. Why do you not respond to their responses?

Since I don’t blog much I really don’t check the responses either…sorry. Thanks for reading – hope you’re having a restful break from the grind.
