Blue Funk...........

Contrary to popular belief I too get the blues, or as my grandma says, the blue funk. I am prone to feeling down in the dumps like everyone else. My positive attitude does sway from time to time and there are dark places where I can travel if allowed. I give myself a day to feel that and that is all. I had one of those days today. It was brightened by a fabulous gift from my Dad-grandfather...........Lawson. He sent gloves which are totally ME and very warm and soft. Not itchy wool or tacky leather. Nice, warm, soft and my sized gloves. It made me smile after a day of the blue funk. It does not happen much but it does happen.

Why? There are many obvious reasons if you know my life. I do overcome much but sometimes there creeps in the grim reaper, even in the best of circumstances. He does not know me or my thoughts and yet he finds me in the most challenging of times and the best of times. The sadness for the planet, our troops, the poor and disengaged, their families, my family, friends and foes, Doug's health, my health, work, business, being separated from loved ones etc. Knowing Douglas has to go back down south to work during the cold of Michigan winter and so many other reasons which really are not of major importance in the grand scheme of things, yet I too am human. My woes are few yet I feel so much.Perhaps an empathetic(pathetic) soul.

My impetus for writing this is not to grovel for pity or gain blessings..........it is to let those of you who do face great sorrow at times to know that I too feel the same. We all have these moments which are unexpected. Sometimes there are real reasons and other times we just get sad. That is the paradox of human nature. Good/evil....sad/happy...rich/wealthy and so on..........It does not end. I encourage myself to feel it all and I share what I feel. Thanks for listening.
