Just do the next thing

This is my new mantra, "just do the next thing." If I'm going to be honest in this blog, here it is. I'm in a dark place right now and i'm trying hard to find the light in my life. Not trying to sound overly dramatic. But that's what it is. Probably one of the main reasons I started this blog is to write down my feelings and try and sort it all out.

Am I depressed or is this just one of those down times we all go through? Is it a mid-life crisis "female style." I say female-style because I always think of men when I hear that phrase. You know the image of buying a little red sports car and having an affair. Stereotypes - sheesh.

All I know is lately i have a lot of questions but not a lot of answers. Big question - is this all there is? And how can i make my life more meaningful - just plain happier! I just want to wake up excited about my day and stop dragging myself through every stinkin' day. Life shouldn't be like this right?

So I came across this great piece of advice, "just do the next thing." Which can be huge when you're depressed. I feel soooo overwhelmed by just the daily stuff and don't want to even start my oh so long to-do list. But if I just do the next thing, that's something to feel good about.

So today I called my doctor and made an appointment to get help. I don't know what I need but I need something and that seemed like the logical step.

I feel lighter just by taking that step.

peace.
