This is good and I had to learn this time around that it is OK to have days that are down. Those days that I am not feeling as spunky as normal are the days that I learn more on how to live within myself. For me, I thought I should be happy, joyous, and free all of the time. In reality, though, this wouldn't be human. Of course than again, I think that we are spiritual beings having human experiences but than again what do I really know.
There is a rummer here where I live that there was about 5 people at a meeting one time that were all down. And after the meeting they all went over to the bar and got drunk. I am not too sure if that is true or not. We can always take action to try and change the situations that are around us
