How much time do you spend making sure you come across to people as “normal”? Eventually, life tests all of us, and we end up in a situation with which we have great difficulty simply coping.

So just how “moody” are you? After all, we humans are truly creatures of our temperaments and tempers. How often does your mood fluctuate or rise and fall? I’ll bet at times that you can easily forgive yourself for your mistakes. At other times, your frame of mind shifts and you feel shame or undeserving of any love or respect whatsoever.

What do y’all think of the digital age we live in, sweet friends? What do you share on social media? How many “Happy Birthdays” or “HBs” do you get on Facebook or the Gram? Some of you may view your personal life as content for your next post. Why do you suppose that is?

What does it mean to you to feel utterly happy? What if I told you that you don’t always have to feel as anxious and unsettled as you usually do? The truth is that we humans scarcely appreciate the beauty and wonder that lies all around us.

There you are yet again having a disagreeable, distasteful conversation with your mate or friend. Sigh. She’s cranky and cross. He’s grouchy and grumpy. I’m so cranky, I’m not even talking to myself. Sheesh. Why is it so darn hard to simply get along?

Do you keep a tight rein on your impulses and control your intense appetites? What about chances you never took because you were afraid of the risks involved? Have you stayed with a job your whole life due to exaggerated fear of change? You know what they say: If you don’t take risks, you will always work for someone who does.
