Nothing,nothing and more nothing

Is it possible to keep on going when there is nothing and I do mean nothing to look forward to? When everything good is in the past and the future holds nothing but obligation and duty ,how does one go on with any kind of happiness or joy?

Well, I'm still breathing so for me, it's still possible to go on. Ask me again at the end of next month.

When everything good is in the past and the future holds nothing but obligation and duty ,how does one go on with any kind of happiness or joy?

Who is to say there won't be any happiness or joy by meeting your obligations and duties? The only thing you can do is perform them and hope for the best, unfortunately - and every situation is different. Also, you don't know that everything good is in the past. Did you suddenly become a fortune teller? *encouraging smile* Hang in there, hon. I think I know what you're talking about but I'm loath to make assumptions. I'll just offer an ear or a shoulder if you need them.

I don't know what's going on in your life, but will send ~~~ hopeful vibes ~~~ if you like. And the fur-kids will gladly send >^._.^< purrs and headbumpies, the male (silver tabby) will throw in a hiss or two, upon request >^._.^< Would either of these offers help? How about a book?*

* Warning: Although my BC list shows many books available and my move is officially complete one year ago today, not all are findable so suggest a couple titles to increase odds of find-ablity, ok?

my mother is sucking the soul out of me. I try to bring some happiness to her life and nothing is ever good enough,. If I solve one of her complaints she fills me with ten more. It's gotten to the point that even when I am not with her her voice is in my head. Instead of being able to enjoy my own life and wrestle with my own little problems I am consumed with hers. I thank you dear friends for your kind words. I need them more than you know. My husband and my son want me to just cut her out of my life because they see what it is doing to me. They don't realize that I just can't do that and live with myself. But then because I won't cut her out they won't help me with her at all. Or listen to my complaints.

Oh, JudyP, that sounds so sad. I'm sorry you're feeling so low. As someone with an aging mother myself (and I was yelling at her on the phone today - yes. Mom that is a scam, no Mom do not send them money), I know how difficult it can be not to feel neglectful, etc. even and especially when the situation is stressful, unfair, etc. Lucky for me, my mother can generally pull back from being too demanding ( ... )
