Even though I have good things to look forward to in the future, I just seem to be in this deep funk! Yes, funk is a good way to put it. What cheers me up though is spending quality time with the hubby, reading a humorous chic lit book, or baking.

Perhaps it comes with age. I just turned 32 & I've been ruminating over my life's direction too. Kids or no kids? Career change? Should I suck it up & just enjoy the perfectly fine life I have? <br /><br />This sounds hokey & I know it, but sometimes unsettled feelings are a blessing in disguise.........they make you re-evaluate. I find that I try to do too much too fast 24/7. Slowing down is the only way I can get out of my funks.<br /><br />Hang in there.

I sometimes find myself wanting more of "something", but I don't know exactly what that "something" is suppose to be. I have not a clue. My life has been easy. I just turned 34. I sometimes wonder what my path is suppose to be...I went to college, happily employed in my chosen field, married to a wonderful person, traveled to Europe a couple of times. My life is grand and I'm lucky I've never had to deal with any hard life struggles. But, I want something more....I'm just not sure what I'm searching for....or should be searching for... Maybe it's a 30-something thing when you wonder if you're making the right choices career-wise, or the decision to have or not have kids. I see my friends around me getting married and having babies but I've never wanted kids. I do wonder if when I'm older I'll regret not having kids. I wonder how best to improve myself and how to continue to learn new things when there is so much to learn in this world and so much information to take in. My twenties just flashed by and I'm afraid my thirties are going to feel like that when I'm in my forties. :) Is this what happens when we age....time passes so quickly and I guess I want to make sure I'm making the right choices to satisfy that 90 year-old that I'll grow into if I'm lucky enough to live 56 more years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-7598482453154135112011-01-11T19:35:51.048-05:002011-01-11T19:35:51.048-05:00With me, it has been the wintertime.

These funks are the worst, because nothing is actually wrong, things just don't feel right. <br /><br />Normally I like to get things off my chest (hence the posts you've commented on) and then I throw myself into something. Whether it is school work, crafting, re-doing decor in a room, cooking or even just moving furniture around, the wheels start to turn as a work my mind. Often I realize where the funk is coming from and I can attack said funk (at least until spring comes and it goes away!)<br /><br />Hope you hop outta this funk soon!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575773449665465080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-49133599353784873472011-01-11T14:52:31.233-05:002011-01-11T14:52:31.233-05:00I have been in a funk for the past 5 months.

I changed my diet and added exercise and I started to see a glimmer of change. Slowly, I am finding that through subtle changes in my life I am uplifting myself. I force myself to not work every night of the week. I added reading a book into my nightly routine. I started thinking through the fun things I want to do in the next year. I turn 30 this year and I want to make it count. I even went so far to see my doctor. We all go through funks, just make changes now. I let myself get so far in a funk it was affecting me in so many ways and I realized I wasn't enjoying what life had to offer.Larissa S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-63087102227945656242011-01-11T14:34:26.211-05:002011-01-11T14:34:26.211-05:00My fool proof solution is to crack open a bottle o...My fool proof solution is to crack open a bottle of wine and watch the movie "A Good Year."
