Sad Saturday


I'm a little depressed today. My anxiety level is up. It gets like that from time to time. I have high anxiety about almost anything but I work at it to make it better. I am feeling a little negative today so I have to channel into something positive. As some of you know, I am trying to be more positive these days. Still, it gets hard. I made a vow not to worry about things so much anymore but since I am a worrier at heart it makes it harder to not worry about things on certain days.

Mom says it's a part of growing up. I agree. People say that the twenties are the hardest part of your life. Almost everyone I've met said they weren't truly happy until they hit their thirties. Things just balanced out at that point. You're more content and comfortable with your life and who you are. I am much better at dealing with things compared to a couple of years ago. When I was 23, 24 and 25, I was so depressed and stressed out I thought I'd die from the pressure. I'd had enough of depression from childhood. I don't want to go back to that again.

Now don't worry. I am a little down today but it's nothing serious. It is nowhere near how it used to be. It's just sometimes, everyone, no matter how positive they are get these ' down days ' as us females call it. You have to understand that there is so much that goes into a woman's system that is impacted by our emotions. Like today, hormones may be the reason I am down. Who knows? For us women, we can't always be sure. We go through a lot of down days and sometimes, no matter what you do to get yourself up again, you can't. It's just the make-up of a woman.

So how do I get myself up today? Well I'll work on some of my stories. Then, I'll watch Grease 2 again. Yes, I loved Grease 2 better than Grease by the way. It is one of my favorite films. Don't laugh at me. A lot of people make fun of Grease 2 for some reason but I liked it much better than the first. Then I will probably watch some Madonna videos. That will perk me up. I might pop in a horror DVD because we all know the television networks haven't shown any decent scary movies this year. What a waste. I might even clean up. You know housework helps when you’re down. Not only is it good exercise but it keeps you busy and your mind off of the problems you thought you had. I am sure that by late evening I will feel better.

By the way I plan to take some more landscape photos soon. As you know I am also a landscape photographer so I will try to share them with you soon. Anyone want to see a sample of my work go to the Biography Page of my website. I have some on my blog too but you have to search the past posts and since my blog is so big it won't be easy, LOL.
I was going to take some more pictures this weekend but things happened that I wasn't planning on. So we all know what that's like.

Anyway, I am wishing you all a good weekend. I may blog again tonight if I have something important to say. I just wanted to wish everyone a good weekend and hopefully you party animals out there will stay safe this Saturday night. I never lived the fast life but for those who do, take care.

The photo is Madonna of course. This is one of my favorite Madonna photos. It's from the cover of her Truth or Dare movie. She was so pretty back in those ' Vogue ' days. The splitting image of Marilyn Monroe.

Feel better! Whenever I feel crappy I always end up watching "Bringing Up Baby" or "Dirty Dancing". I have no clue why, but those two movies also work their magic on me.

We all have down days. But the good thing is that those down days are temporary. I have a sister who lives with me who's in her mid-twenties and I'm watching her find her way, and go through her own highs and lows.

I know my twenties were some pretty down years: was in a bad marriage, spent most of that time in graduate school (which is depressing unto itself), was struggling financially, was living in a city with no family around, etc... Your twenties is a time when you're trying to find your way and bring it all together, you know???

I'm with the Roving Poet, Mr. Marcus... hope things pick up (and of course, they will!)-- and hopefully before you hit your thirties...
