NOT TOO GOOD

I read the book this came from. I have a paperback copy squirreled away somewhere with cards of color carefully put with it that are the very same colors as what shows up on this test. It was very interesting....some twenty or more years ago....and very scientific so I have no reason to doubt the results are at least basically correct. Doctor Lusche was working on these analyses in the first half of the last century.
I have to say it doesn't put me in a very good light, but Khrystibear pointed out that it isn't analyzing your strong points and best characteristics. So what can you expect? And hey, I'm sixty years old, I'm bound to be at least somewhat disappointed and cautious by now.

I am not sure I am up for a test right now. I've never heard of this one. We always used the Color Code book by Dr. Hartman. It was light and fun, but also pretty accurate. Right now my results would probably show me just how frustrated with my situation I really am. And I'm trying to keep a good attitude, so I don't want to destroy the illusion! I guess at our age we can just be content with life and not worry so much? I thought a lot of conference was about not worrying and accepting change. By the way, I like your photo holding the baby! It's a very nice picture.

Hmm... I'll have to read this again. I felt like some of it was insightful to you, like I hadn't thought of it that way. But some of it doesn't sound like you at all!

I thought the test was interesting because like I said, I bought the book about 25-30 years ago and it was very insightful then. I just popped it on here so I wouldn't lose track of it. A lot of it makes sense to me, but yea, what would you expect at my age.? There are bound to be spaces in my life somewhere. It doesn't make me very happy to find out I'm not as happy as I thought I was...haha..hmm. They can't know Everything!!!!
I thought conference was uplifting. It was interesting that we were mostly counseled to just stay on the right path and try to do better. It was very calming. I think we have such an advantage over the rest of the world because of what we're taught in the gospel and because of all the history in the church that we've 'experienced.' And we have great leaders to talk to us when we need to hear wisdom. Are we not blessed.!

Judie, it sounds like you're feeling better. I sure hope so. You certainly have been shaken up lately. I wonder if you feel an empty nest syndrome coming on. I'm pretty sure it's coming on me. I get quite sad, quite often, wondering about silly, but important things...like will I ever see my Florida grandson. What if things go really crazy and I never do? What about jak? And it goes on and on. Sounds crazy, huh? What if...what if..???? And sometimes being content sounds too complacent...sometimes.

The picture with the baby is actually one of my babies. I don't know why I didn't think of it in the first place. Because of that I think it's better. But....efficient I am not. I'm glad you like it.

I thought conference was calming too. I think they wanted us to just not worry. I will read all of it when it comes and it will help.
Thanks for your generous comments about my family. Veronique is my daughter-in-law, married to Roger. She is from Brussels. Their getting together is quite a story.
I think the reason I didn't want to take the quiz is that I didn't want to know about how I was frustrated or not as happy as I would like. I already know things aren't like I thought they would be at this age. I think the important part is that we keep on and make the best of things. After all, isn't that a triumph in itself? We know how to cope because we have had lots of practice. It's just that it's so up and down for me. Some days I am calm and feel positive and then the next I am in the dumps and frustrated as heck. It would be nice to be a person who keeps on an even keel. Maybe that comes from taking drugs (small joke). Sigh. I won't do that, so I guess life is just a roller coaster sometimes. Ah well, enough of this.
