I just feel sad. It’ll pass, and I have good support around me.
But I feel sad. I wanna wrap myself in a blanket and sleep for a long time. Fortunately, tonight is early bedtime and it’s cool enough for blankets, so I should be able to make that happen.
This isn’t sobbing sad, or lying on the floor in the fetal position sad, or unable to function sad. It’s just sad sad. The kind of sad that comes and goes, and feels stronger at night than in the day, and passes eventually… that kind of sad.

Isn’t it great just to be able to be honest about the way we feel?

It’s okay to be sad MS. It happens to all of us. Hang in there and go play with the puppy. They’re wonderful smile makers.

Melancholy. It hits me on Sunday nights generally. I’m sorry, but glad that you’re articulating it and know that you are surrounded by love and light (which is always the case, but hard to recognize sometimes, no?).
Hope today is awesome!

this just popped into my head, and I have an urge to share it with you:
Hope
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune–without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

I actually believe sadness has a purpose and as long as it doesn’t stay around too long, there’s nothing wrong with falling into it. If you feel like wrapping a blanket around you and sleeping…. then you should.
“This too shall pass” – have a great weekend.

Ahhh, great thought Boxer. I did sleep well, woke up to a day filled with music. One of the best masterclasses I’ve ever seen today. More music to come. And I’m dressed up which is fun.

Are these the blues or the grays? I got no poetry but the thing that always cheers me up is big slobbery dog kisses. There’s no hiding from the warm snout of a worried dog.
How bout I send ya some of those?

That sounds lovely Shamie! I think these are the blue-grays. Not blue enough to cry all day, and not gray enough to be completely unfocused. But just some heaviness slippin’ through the cracks in the music…

I also find big breasted lesbian hugging works in a pinch.

ROFL You need to consider that it might be the lack of same which is causing some of this. But ROFL nonetheless.

Big breasted hugs sound good, so comforting! That department I excel in. How about big breasted straight girl with empathy hugs for now? And get lotsa doggy kisses too!
