Back on the Roller Coaster - OW still around

[fooled again]

BeingMe, I like your rock analogy. And I don't know if I've told you this before, but I really like your thread title "State of Mind" - I think about it all the time whenever I feel like I'm losing it. I talk myself down, saying "What you are feeling is only because of your state of mind - if you change that, things on the outside look and feel a whole lot different." It doesn't always work, mind you, but sometimes I am able to stop that freight train of emotions from running me over.

Glad to hear you have a lovely view (I read on your thread) of the islands - that would be my choice if I had one. I hope you get busier. My current job leaves me lots of time to twiddle my thumbs and contemplate the story state of my life. The new job promises to be more challenging and distracting - both things I desperately need at this stage of the game. Being home would probably be worse!
