I'm so blue...

I can't seem to shake the "blues". Kind friends have offered the Winter Season, the on-going construction, and even my age(!#!$@) as a possible source. I can't see the connection with any of the above.

I have a good life, a great husband, and a strong marriage. My kids are all healthy, independent, motivated , intelligent and loving. My grandchildren are a total joy in my life - like an unexpected blessing. I have a great home (that will be complete in time for us to sell and move off to a retirement village) - and a wonderful job. I have strong, loyal friendships (old and new) from every walk of life.

I was hoping that writing all this down would help me focus on the wonderful things in my life and help me shake the terrible blues that have haunted me for a couple weeks now. I am not suicidal - I am just BLAH, and I can hide it in a minute, if I have to - so I guess it is not clinical.

I am making a promise to myself - with you all as my witnesses - to take better care of myself physically. I need to eat healthier and start doing SOME form of exercise - I think that may help me climb out of this solitutde of bleakness. I will take baby steps - but I will make the effort to do a little each day...

Hey, thanks for listening... I am now accountable.
