Winter is taking a toll on me,I have been snowed in,isolated, kind of blue.We are really getting hit by old man winter.My oldest daughter had surgery, she is okay ,but I wasn't able to be there,it was right in the middle of a bad snowstorm.I felt so bad that I wasn't there for her.I also received news from a friend of mine,his brother died from a tragic accident,it was caused from him being very intoxicated, and making a bad decision, he died from a fall.I just haven't been feeling any joy or many good feelings lately,just a low level sadness that I wish would go away,I think maybe spring will make it go away or maybe moving south where I have friends will make it go away and then sometimes I think it will never go away.
I'm sorry the weather came between you and your daughter. I hope she is doing well after her surgery. That's a sad story about the brother's friend.
I'm not a big fan of winter either, mjferg. We've had subzero temps here for days now. Who wants to go out in that? I did some yoga and that helped my blah mood a bit but it seems in the wintertime I always have to get creative in order to get through and not feel down. Maybe this why so many of us have flowers for our avatars.
This too shall pass, ya know. :) Sometimes calling someone in the program and bs ing awhile helps me too. Like you, I am so looking forward to Spring! Until then, we can vent.
For you (((hugs))) TT
