There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love,
but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.

Blue

So, I am a little blue today. Just because I thought something was one way, but it turns out it is another. So... give me a minute to pep up a little, regroup, and establish a proper footing to hike through the bullshit I have surrounded myself with.

I hate being stupid, gullable and idealistic. It attracts the selfish and self centered. Maybe mine is a standard I shouldn't place on others.

okay, melanie, GET OVER IT!

  1. Color me blue too Melanie. Darn these holidays for having all the meaningless baggage that comes with what's really important.

  5. Thanks Steph! sounds like you are busy. i have done the little tree, and it made me feel better. maybe some christmas shopping and some gift giving will help.

    its actually gotten colder here, which i am not complaining about, but the sun still shines, and the air is clear, and the mountains are beautiful at sunset, and the ocean waves are soothing. HOpe your hubby gets home soon to help.

  12. Often what's needed on a day like this is to have the day end. Then a good night's sleep. The next day, things looks different.

  18. Pearls before swine was my mother's favorite expression. (Her name was Pearl.) Whoever has disappointed you is not worth it. Really. And even though you're feeling blue right now, this frees you up for something or someone better, whichever applies.

    We can't have the good without also experiencing the bad. I wish it were not so, and hope things get better soon.

  19. SUCKER!!!!

    (attempting to enforce theory of "laughter is the best medicine")

    I have been absorbing a sad dose of reality today so I think I'll be posting some macabre stuff to express my mood.

    Hang in there!
