Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 1320605, member: 548"] Well, this morning I am going for a brisk winter walk with my neighbor, also an SU fan. I am going to use every trick in the book not to dwell. Morbid self-pitying dwelling used to be my specialty (and sometimes we need to do it and it's okay) but I understand it helps nothing. I WANT to feel happiness, so I figure out what kinds of things make me happy, and then I do them. I know it sounds simplistic but it works for me. I will spend less time on the board when it's not basketball season, and I'm sure that will be true for all of us. I am not going to spend any energy at all contemplating the past or the future. As an older person, I can't just wish for the next season to come quickly, because I don't want it to! I want to enjoy all the things that will come in between. I am very sad about this year and I do feel it. But when I feel it for too long, I give myself permission to move on. (Kind of a long-winded answer. Sorry!) [/QUOTE]
