good days....and bad!!
What are you like on a 'good' day and how do things go when you are tired and irritable, a 'bad' day. I am peaceful and serene and see the funny side of things on my 'good' days but.........don't anyone cross me on a 'bad' one. It will be at their peril.
Is it me or, on a 'bad' day does EVERYTHING seem to go wrong? Drop things, lose things, shout at the cats, hurt some part of the body accidently, Oh, the list goes on and on. I try the usual things, peace and calm, deep breathing etc. but I might as well write that day off and hope the next day is better.

I am sorry to hear you have bad days ....I don't seem to have them anymore
everything just floats over me these days.There was a time when I had a lot of 'bad days' but I found they were actually making me physically ill so I took a step back and realised when I can't change something there is no point in stressing about it
.With this realisation came a kind of peace and contentment...

I'm very much like the Ladies before me Margaret, I seemed to have mastered the odd bits of temper and I just stay calm, what's the use of fighting something when you know you can't do anything about it?, thankfully now the only things that bother me are sickness and death, either in the Family or with close friends, as far as I'm concerned, thats the only kind of real trouble that can happen to anyone, everything else blows over with time.

Re: good days....and bad!!
On good days I have bags of energy, nothing bothers me and my tolerance is on elastic.On bad days when I do too much and get tired, have some worries, or if someone has upset me, I tend to withdraw and go off on my own for a while to sort myself out.

Re: good days....and bad!!
I must admit that "bad days" as you call them are very few and far between in my life, I don't want to sound smug but I haven't got the time to get ratty at anyone or anything, life is much too short and a decent sense of humour has always helped me over the years plus the fact that I have a very settled life and never set my sights too high, this I feel is essential to a peaceful existence.I do admit that we are not all the same in our outlooks but I am most satisfied with my lot.
Keep smiling everyone!

Re: good days....and bad!!
I have one good week a month.Week one- Pre-menstral week=not a good week
Week two- Menstral week= not a good week
Week three- Post-menstral week= not a good week
Week four- this is the good week!
Ok, I kid, ... or do I? I just turned 50 Oct. 1st and I feel old as crap sometimes. Most it's because I need to lose weight, and the other reason is I have a bit of anxiety. I have teenage kids too. When most of my friends have older children and grandkids or are on the side of almost being empty nesters, I still have a 15yr. old boy who is his mother (lol, OH BOY!) and a 19 yr. old daughter who butts heads with me alot!
However, I think all days are good days, ya know? Any day above ground! Just try to relax as much as you can and like the posts above me, try not to stress over the small things or the things we can't control. Also, I say some prayers to help me relax and focus on something else when I feel blue or just mad at the world. Try to think as positive as you can!
