It's difficult but this comment put a smile on my face. We need more positivity in our life as not to loose our sight.

The Greek Philosopher Epictetus had a few good concepts. They were;

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Or

People are not disturbed by things, but by the view that they take of them.

His philosophy was that we really can’t control things outside of our bodies, so we should focus on only what we can control.

I was just thinking of ya. I think I may know what you mean. The things you want to be able to do are not happening? Hard to focus on important issues in life? ... after thinking a while well I know I can change things for the better but also must appriciate how amazingly made each one of us are and we need to be still and quiet sometimes to get the messages we are sent so that we know which way to steer next.

I get you. I feel like I can’t move no matter how I try. Not any significant move. I try to keep up and I just barely make it without being rolled over by the fast paced life that goes on it’s own...

I was just thinking maybe pick out just one part in your life that you want to work on and give it full attention.

That sounds like a very good idea...

Sending hugs my friend. Follow those twist and turns and they just might lead to that straight your waiting/looking for.
