I know the feeling. Not only is my glass half empty … but it’s not the first glass of the night. ;)

Yes, we are incredibly fortunate. It’s not difficult to remember that on my (ridiculously long) commute each day, since I drive right through the heart of a VERY depressed city. Yet I do find myself at that pity party from time to time, just the same. H’s company changed the rules of the game 30 years in (making it such that retirement isn’t in the cards anytime soon, but there is no guarantee the company will feel the same). At work I get no respect (and not much money). The value of my house is … well, not very valuable. No vacations, no new cars, no badly needed home renovations. A year from h*** due to mother’s illness/passing & dad’s cancer. Yes, there are many great things in my life - kids are doing so well, managing to get by without borrowing, health is good (although I don’t appreciate this belly fat age has decided to bestow upon me for the first time in my life), marriage is wonderful, cars seem to be hanging in there with minimal repairs needed, etc.

So vent here, try to some things to try to help the situation, and above all know that you are not alone.
