Honostly I have to work to not take myself too seriously.
I went on a short vacation with two married couples and a couple more girl friends. We three women rode in my car and I drove. On the way back I had a strain of of the crankies. I couldn't shake the crabby mood. It was over shit like the heater and the radio and back seat drivers..
I had to work it out later at home that it was not their fault. I had to accept responsibility for my mood.
I was so serious about myself. That was the real problem.
I have depression that is rather untreatable. I tried an antidepressant but it made me sick the whole two years I tried to take it. I tried the older night time meds. They gave me problems, too. I just have to talk to myself correctly and work with placing blame and fault where it belongs. On me. Or I can't work on it or fix it.
I'm glad to see a cartoon here. It is healthy to see the humor in situations and find a way to laugh at yourself a little.
By the time I told my story to another friend it took on a much funnier twist. It would make a great short story.
Here's to truth and lightness of being.
