I read other blogs and feel so fortunate that I am able to connect, albeit long distance and indirectly, with people who share some of my sensitivities. Would that it were so for all the world. Tonight, I am feeling blue for no good or apparent reason, so I will just get through it and be lively and alive and alert and happy tomorrow or another day. That's what we do, isn't it? We just move through it all until we're grounded again and feeling like we're where we should be, in both place and thought.
I do not have insurmountable, or even particularly burdensome, problems. I suspect most of us don't. But we can certainly allow the stumbles and slips and falls and distractions make us believe we are enduring the unendurable. We are wimps (at least I am). We'll get over the roadbumps...or we'll die in the process. Such is life and death.
I appreciate the following blog posts that have, in one way or another, helped my mood tonight migratge from annoying self-pity to appreciation for others' wisdom. Please, if you read the posts of these often-wise bloggers, thank these good people for their willingness to share their ideas, their thoughts, their prejudices, their aspirations, and their lives. I am grateful to them for occasionally letting me share their thoughts and emotions.

One other point. Last night. Bush. Another argument for euthanasia. "Oh, I forgot our promise to New Orleans!" "Oh, I forgot 'mission accomplished.'" "Oh, I forgot we're in Iraq because of imaginary weapons of mass destruction."
I want him out of office. I want him to stop leading this country to annialation. Thank you, bloggers, make him stop!

That's pretty cool company for me to slip into unnoticed. Thanks, John!
I was thinking today that we 50-somethings need to make our best works in the next decade, instead of looking to the past to try to find it.
Damn, though, that sounds like SO much work.
Thanks for the mention--the link doesn't work though. Was it a particular post?
I've been down the last month, as well. Might be SADS, or it might be my daughter's senior year. Both daughters, actually.
Thank goodness the sun is out today.
Thanks very much for the mention, and your list has already led me to a couple of interesting places I've never been before.
Last night I think I was feeling a bit blue too - partly after reading up on some environmental issues. Then the local coyote pack dropped by to serenade me. I opened the window and let the wildness fill the room. That certainly picked up my spirits - especially as there was at least one young pup in the pack and it was pretty excited. I've put a little audio clip up on my blog today. It might pick you up too.
