My Glass Half Empty

I want to hide in my closet today. Nothing has changed in my world since yesterday, yet for some unknown reason, things that were normal have turned bleak and gray.

Why does this happen??

I am not alone in this, right?

Maybe I read something that led me to believe I am not enough. I am not striving enough. Actually, I know I did. This is familiar stomping ground for me.

Maybe it is because I have spent time with three people this week who have really crappy things going on in their lives. I have guilt because everything in my life is currently peachy. Yes, I do see the irony in this.

Maybe it is the clouds that have rolled in.

Maybe it’s just a mood. A hormonal fluctuation. A phase of the moon?????

On the bright side, I can see the lameness in these feelings. I am aware and fighting against them with all of my might.

Got to get out. Do something positive. Something for somebody else.

Putting you on hold while I work on that. Back later today to let you know how it worked out.

<pause>

It’s pouring rain now.

I’m pretty sure taking my 15 year old son shopping for clothes at the outlet mall was not the right decision.

If you need me, you’ll find me in the closet.
