Positive thought

What gets me out of bed in the morning? Gaslighting? Feeling frustration? Resentment? These seem to be the only things I have come up with for inspiration. Otherwise I have to force myself out of bed, or never get up perhaps.

What gets me through the day? Food? Shopping fantasies? Gossip? Anger? High voltage relationships?

Maybe there's a better way. What would happen if reaching out, reconnecting with people I love and care about, was my go-to source of inspiration? There are so many choices of people, for a man of my vintage, whom I could touch and make some positive affect on. I forget. But they're there. All it takes is a little recollecting, and a little effort.

How novel. Positive instead of negative. Who woulda thunk it. They both get me going, but they lead me to such contrasting destinations.

Bolstering the self. Why must that be my source? I could instead build up the next person. What if all those people are right who say to give is more rewarding than to take? If I now have the arsenal to actually buttress the next person, I am a very lucky so and so.
