Do you ever get a day ?

Some days just seem a bit bleak.

I was seriously ill a couple of years ago and sometimes I think I'm still just a bit sorry for myself. I think it also happens when I'm concerned about someone I love too but it's quite "low level" bleak. More like a grey niggle.

Obviously if my loved one is really struggling (or ill) then I know why the day is a bit "off"so I don't mean that.
I'm not aware of having more than a day of it BlueBelle.

I'm lucky to have a great husband. Sometimes I have a weep on his shoulder if I'm feeling "unreasonably" grey. I know that deep down it's when I'm still a bit sorry for myself (I'm actually very lucky) and don't know why. He never says I'm unreasonable by the way. He is my rock.

I hope you have someone like him. X

Yes BlueBelle, I often wake up feeling like that. And I shouldn’t, as I have much to be thankful for.

When I was still at work, I thought that once I retired, I would have little to fret about.

But like many women, I seem to find something,

Family, health, everyday household concerns….

Then I get up and get on with it.

Do you ever get a day when for no real reason you feel really sad and down ? I don’t mean depression or anything major just a day maybe two when you feel sad and low but no real idea why.
