pity party

i'm moody today. a bit blue. i suppose there's a reason if i own up to it. at first i felt like i wanted to put on a pretty dress and disappear into prettyland. where things are pretty and dreamy and i feel well. since i've the idea that everyone else's life is better than mine; more glamourous, more intellectual, more social, more loving, more friendly, more family oriented, more money and simply more interesting. i guess i'm having a pity party indeed.


think what i might do is make a cup of tea and do some of the things i like to do. read. start another poem. and think about what i'd like to change, how to change it, and get going on it (scary but necessary). and as important... to remember what is working, what has worked and relish in these good happenings. and trust.


and it's raining... a lot.
