Is life always like this?

Do you ever sit back for a couple of seconds and think: "Is life always like this?"?
I have been doing a fair bit of that this last little while. I have been thinking about a whole heap of stuff and am convinced that it hasnt always been this way.
I dont want to bore you (or upset anyone) with the details, I will simply say that there are a number of particularly worrying issues which keep occupying my mind (especially when I am trying to sleep!). I dont know whether it is appropriate to mention these things, so I wont. Most of them are out of my hands as well which makes it annoying.
That being said, I think I am dealing with stuff pretty well. But it's not all beer and skittles.
Thinking about those things though, isn't having issues a sign of weakness? I wouldnt want people to think that I am struggling now, would I? Their opinion of me would surely drop, wouldnt it?

Perhaps this could be my first 'feedback' blog.

What do you think about people who are obviously struggling? Do you see them as someome you can care for? Or someone to stay clear of? How do you show you care? Of course there are the appropriateness issues, but how can you look after someone within those constraints?
Feel free if you want, to say how you prefer to be treated when you are having a hard time. People are different and often in this area.

All this being said, there have been quite a few really good things as well. Last Saturday for hospitality weekend was fantastic. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and there was heaps of good conversation and fun. You can tell it is going well when people stay to midnight and we didnt have to break out any board games. I had lots of fun cooking for people and being a host. I havent done it in a little while and it was nice to again.
Other things that have been good: General hanging out with the dudes, TEAM last night on bible study leading, Friday night JBS, going to the gym, bible study, KOTOR 2. Living with Dave is going well too.
Thanks to God there has been lots of good as well as the not-so-good. Need to keep trusting in Him. It's hard though. Feel free to pray for me.
What's coming up: DaVinci Code talk tonight as bible study outing, Pak and Stacy's wedding, unimovies, perhaps a little KOTOR 2....

Having issues is not what makes someone weak or other, it's how one deals with them.

Could you expand on that perhaps? What are some good and bad ways of dealing with issues?

Dealing with issues depends on the issue so I can't really be specific. My point was: Having issues is not necessarily bad/weak.
