blah, blah, blah

That's how the last few weeks have been going. Just plain blah. The few laughs i have had were short and far between. I don't know the origin of it but with spring coming in strong, i feel a surge coming on. The flowers are gorgeous. I will be getting out of the house and taking pictures. Candid shots are good but how do you get them without people posing for you? Faces tell such intersting stories. I have little to no interest in politics anymore. I guess getting older has changed my passions and priorities. Retirement looms too close and money will be a problem. My son goes to Iraq too soon and that is another bummer. The future is uncertain and I was not prepared for that. I thought i had it all worked out and planned down to the last dot. Funny how life takes its own path. These are supposed to be the best years of my life and they aren't , unless i choose to look at them like that. So, i will choose to look at it like that. These are the best years of my life. Salud!

I'll keep a prayer in my heart for you and your son. These tough times are .... well ... they're just plain tough. But....sometimes these hard times mean that there are good times around the corner.

I know what you mean. A lot of us are at that time of our lives when we will be going through changes (not menopause, but retirement and money issues). The economy is bad, many people are unemployed and may be retiring earlier than planned, health issues, Iraq...all these things make for uncertainties and the blahs as you said... even depression. I have been enjoying photography lately to get my mind off things. The weather was nice today (although I was inside most of the day since I had to work). Stop and smell the roses. Find something each day that you are grateful for. For every annoyance or irritation in your life, there are others who have it much worse. I work with someone who was telling me about her five year old grandson who has terminal brain cancer. Things like that put life in perspective....then again, why do children have to suffer?
