the blues

According to a psychologist, there is a formula for figuring out which day each year people are most likely to feel depressed and guess what? It's this week.

I had been feeling REALLY bummed out through all of December and the first week or so of January. I had a series of bad things happen and was feeling quite sorry for myself. Plus, I clearly suffer from a touch of seasonal affective disorder (I could never live in the Pacific Northwest). I was feeling so blue that it was bugging everyone around me.

But in the last two weeks I seem to have completely snapped out of it. I tend to be a sunny optimist by nature, so being blue for 6 weeks was pretty unusual for me. It's awfully nice to feel back to normal. It helps that I've had a run of quite good luck this past week...
