Shit Comes in Clumps

Ever noticed that yourself???  Seems to be a consistent story of my life and while seeing/reading/hearing about everyone else's shit storms as they hit their lives via FB, it seems to not just be me... Always wondered if it's a case of one crappy thing happens, we focus on that and just manifest more of the same energy, or whether it's just the Universe trying to cut us a break.... shit has to happen, but lets put it all out there in one foul sweep and then you get to have some time without some shit at least!

Not that shit is really happening here, a couple of little things that I wasn't expecting, but then I notice other little things I wasn't expecting happening too... maybe because I'm not quite the chirpy happy little camper I am normally so I pick up on the small stuff easier and therefore sweat it more too... who knows.  What I do know is that while on FB I had more than a few friends who suffered depression and/or anxiety and that while it reminded me my own little shit clumps can be dealt with easily, it also made me aware of posting up funny and more uplifting stuff... Last thing anyone who is already depressed wants to read is more depressing stuff of other people!  On top of that I'm a great believer of faking it till you make it, particularly when it's head stuff.  It's a well known fact that laughing releases the feel good hormones, even if that laugh is faked, and even if it is faked initially, it doesn't take much for it to become REAL.

I guess I miss that opportunity with no FB... when I feel bland, or in even a tiny slump, there is no faking it till I make it, no opportunities for laughter like what used to pop up on my newsfeed, and it's easy to stay in that slump for longer than is necessary, easy to focus on the crap, even if it's tiny.  I noticed all this today, wouldn't have written it as long winded on FB, but probably would have posted something up there appreciating the distraction of friends and laughter.
