I can't exactly put a finger on it but all I can say is you've been posting a bit differently lately.<br /><br />I have been down as well, and not just because of Gumby's recent passing. You and I share much the same <i>lonely, childless, semi-penniless life spent living in a house that isn't yours</i> that you described. My life did not turn out at all like I had expected or planned, and a lot of the time I feel like a failure. Because technically, a failure is what I am. My (thankfully past) alcoholism cost me the career and life I had mapped out for myself, and it really sucks when I realize there's no do-overs in life and not only can I not take my mistakes back, but also that I'm too old to start over.<br /><br />So what to do? Nothing, I guess, but live the life I now have and try to put the past behind me. Easier said than done, I know. I'm there for ya, my friend.GumbyTheCathttp://www.cosmicsnark.comnoreply@blogger.com
