The Swings are Tough

I'm doing my normal playing and just as I'm coming off a great week in poker.  It's followed by a losing week so far.  Last week, I won close to $360 and now I'm down $120.
 
I'm learning a few things with this loss.  At cash games, if I'm not in control of the table I need to leave.
 
Losing on the river is just as common as winning on the river.  It feels like my worst losses occur on the river.  I have the best hand going in and I lose it on the lucky river.  This is the balance of poker, being aggressive and being prepared to give it all up for the lucky card.
