Jealous

I am jealous of everyone who has summers off.
I am jealous of everyone who still has their parents.
I am jealous of everyone who makes more money than me, has less debt than me.
I am jealous of everyone getting married now, despite the fact that I'm married and love my husband.
I am jealous of all the first time home buyers while we're still trying to get our affairs in order.
I am jealous of everyone who's household has two full time wage earners.
I am jealous of everyone who's passed the LCSW test.
I am jealous of all my fellow riders who have new bikes when all I have is a busted mountain bike....
I am jealous of a lot of things....and am struggling to move forward when it feels like everything is pushing me back!

I'm working on the jealousy issue myself. It's tough.

If you're in the market for a book that might help, I can highly recommend Martha Beck's "The Joy Diet." (Diet is used to mean a way of living, not a weight loss plan.)
I'm working through this book now, and I had my eyes opened wide this morning by what I uncovered while working through the exercise.

i feel your first three
hang in there...jeolousy is a very ugly thing. i have learned to not be jeolous as much as possible and concentrate on what i do have.

Awww, sounds like you're having a rough day! Glad to see you stopped by my neck of the woods and yes I'm back (I'm sneaking in time..shhh, don't tell anyone).

As I read your list, someone else is making a list about all the things that you have and they don't. Think about that :). Maybe that will make you feel better
