Lately I feel like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole. I go through this periodically but lately it seems to happen more than it used to. I wonder if it’s because of where I am or maybe the only reason I’m in the round hole is because of where I have chosen to put myself. Wendy some discussion with you would be great, but anyone could be of some help.

So why do you feel out of place? I often feel the same way or maybe I am a round peg trying to fit in a square hole, but I am still looking for the round hole that is the perfect fit. The square hole is just a place to be in the mean time.
I am not sure what exactly your going through I have not checked out your blogs in a while, but I can say life will throw curve balls all the time. You get 3 strikes your out, you get 4 balls you walk. If you get lucky you can send one out of the park. I think the best I have gotten has been an occasional sac bunt.
Take Care

Chris,
The first thing that comes to my mind when I see the work breakdown.. is what is breaking down.. and what will he build in it’s place.
We all have those moments of not fitting in, especially as teens. And I don’t think we ever really get over it, they always haunt us in the back of our mind that fear is always there. Most of us move past that fear to do things we always thought we were afraid to do. It is a part of growth.
So if you are in breakdown mode, what will you build? What do you want to build? And what parts will you reuse to build it?
Hugs,
D
Hey friend,
I have spent much of this year, from about January 20th-on, in and out of breakdowns. My 30th year has been the worst one yet.
In February, I learned that my thyroid shut down, which explained my 30Lb. weight gain, but didn’t fix it immediately.
In March, I lost my beloved grandfather. I waiver frequently between grief, gratefulness, and fury at God for that.
In March, my husband’s job decided to not stay current on their payrole and the paychecks stopped coming.
Husband lost his job at the end of July. Money is tight; my health is poor. I wish I could say that my faith was better.
But, along with the other comments to your blog, I know this:
I think we have trials and they make us who we are. You probably know it better than me, but one of the verses that gives me strength and hope during this time is the one where God is saying, “I have plans for you..plans to protect you, prosper you…not to harm you”.
So…hang in there. Life will get better but I am here to talk if you need me.
Looking forward to looking back on these days,
Wendy
Chris,
It’s funny that you wrote this….because I have just gone through three weeks of feeling the exact same thing. I think sometimes we feel that we are doing exactly what God wants us to do with our lives and then things just don’t fit anymore.
All I know is….things happen for a reason. We may not know why at the time, but soon enough the answer to that mystery will be revealed.
You of all people know how powerful turning to the Eucharist can be. I will be praying for you as you find your “fit”…as I know you will pray for me as I continue to find mine…specifically the journey to it. Just turn to Him….hand everything over…and stop trying to take it back and feel you can handle it all!!!!
I love you Chris and Miss You!!!!!
Hey bud
Seems as though a lot of people care about you givin all the loving responses you have received.
Sometimes I think its the world we live in that can be somewhat depressing even when there are good things all around us the bad ones get the most attention. And lets be honest, its not the world we grew up in. Things are not as simple as they used to be. Hang in there bud and lets see what tomorrow holds. Hit me up soon sounds like we might have to get together and do some fishing to relax.
