Whatever it is, it’s got me good

I’m tired. Physically and men­tally. It seems the lit­tlest task takes insur­mount­able energy to accom­plish. I’m unin­spired and unmo­ti­vated both pro­fes­sion­ally and personally.

It could have some­thing to do with the recent death of a family friend, but it was expected as he’d been ill for quite some time. It could be because of the oppres­sive heat, but temps have cooled 20+ degrees and are only in the 80s (F) now. I could be going through grandkid with­drawal. But I’ll see them again in September. It could be the economy…or gas prices…or the finan­cial mess our gov­ern­ment has put the country in now. An uncer­tain future does take quite a toll on the psyche.

Whatever it is, it’s got me good.

Retail shoe therapy you say? Yes, that’s an option. I’ll need to explore that pos­si­bility in more depth.

I did accom­plish a color palette of one of my anniver­sary flowers. Looking at it now, the lighting sort of reflects my mood, and the palette is more on the sub­dued side. But…in the lighting, there’s some bright spots so I’m going to try and focus more on those things in life to offset the darkness.

So, if I’ve missed com­menting on your posts, I’m sorry and plan to get my act together soon. I appre­ciate the time you take to stop by to see me, and love each and every one of your com­ments. I promise to stop by and visit with you soon. In fact, that’s prob­ably the best med­i­cine I could ask for right now!

That…and a bottle glass of wine…and lots of some dark chocolate.
