Self-Pity can come from negative things like losing a job but to focus on it only makes your state worse. Don't deny the things that went wrong but do look for the things that are going right.
I was upset with a misogynistic, manipulative and disrespectful coworker. He is very unhappy and makes himself physically ill from the things he does. I am not that way. I know to respect others and myself. This higher trait is something that keeps me going.
I am getting paid until next October even though my contract ends in May. I have a nice apt that I consider to be a sanctuary. It may not have everything I want in it but it is my corner of the world that for me is safe. I have a nice car and although I may need to get a different one, I know that I am okay for now.
I have some great coworkers that I never want to forget. They are so special to me. I have great students that I know will be even greater in the future.
There are many other things and while the negative is in the forefront, I must remember those things that are good. I am a good person and a GOOD SOUTHERN MAN.

Not quite over the Hill
This blog is unedited free-thought and is an expression of those "soap box" or "dear diary" moments. It is not intended to be great literature. If I have learned anything through my life journey, it is this. If I keep bottling up thoughts and feelings, they will explode much like a soda in the freezer. This is one of my outlets. Thanks for stopping by.
