Coming and Going

Coming and GoingAs you get older and the more you have to adult, it seems like the more coming and goings you experience in life.

Financial comings and goings
The paycheck is probably the biggest financial coming and going I experience in my life. The money comes and as quickly as it arrives it seems that it is gone just as quickly. My family never had money growing up, and to be honest, even now as an adult who makes decent money, we still don’t still seem to have money today. It seems like we are always making “ends” meet, so to speak, but just barely. There is never any money left over for the fun stuff in life.

Time
Time is probably the next thing that is always coming and going. One minute you have time to relax for a few seconds and the next minute, you are so busy that you can’t even take a deep breath. Some days I’m so busy I don’t even know if I’m coming or going.

Friends
Then there are friends, some friends are just passing through and only stay for a little while, those are usually the kind that wanted something from you and once you gave that to them or you refused, they are gone, we will call them users. Then there are those that stay for a fair amount of time and then over the years that bond between the two of you fades, we will call them “passing”.

Then there are those that are there with you through thick and thin, those are the ones you can count on, we will call them true blue friends.

Health
Then, of course, you have your health, which if you are like me, is constantly coming and going. Some days are better than others, some days you think you are going die and then there are others that you just wish you would die.

Life seems to be full of comings and goings

    I’m pretty much lost all the time until I started the CBD oil, now I’m pretty much on point most of the time, the pain is pretty much gone and I feel more like myself. Have you tried CBD oil yet? I have been on it for the past two months now and it really has made a huge improvement in my life. It really reduces my pain levels and I’m not having to pop so many pills now. You should give it a try. God has a plan.
    God Bless

    1. Believe me when I tell you that I would love to try it. I have heard so many great things about it and how it works with pain. But I work for the Federal Government and hold a high-security clearance, so it is out of the question for me.

  2. You nailed it with this one, I never know if I’m coming or going, but such as life.
    Happy Birthday to me 🙂

    I put everything on my phone, without it I would be so lost. Try Evernote, it is awesome.

    1. I work in a location that I’m not authorized to have my phone with me, but to security restrictions, so I usually live off of my computer calendar at my desk and my little black book that I carry with me everywhere.

    I’m lost most of the day, my thoughts are so cloudy and I can’t remember much short term. I can really relate to this post.

    I personally have lost so many friends due to my MS. I never want to go out, I don’t communicate with them well and I’m sure I’m a total bore to be around.

    1. I can see that POV, I get so fatigued that I don’t want to go to my computer and do anything. I’m sure you are not a bore 🙂
