Moods

Do you ever feel sad, lonely, friendless or forlorn?
Do you ever feel happy, blissful, unlonely or delighted?

At times - I am all of the above

Most likely you are also. Not at the same time of course. For most of us it all depends on the day, the weather, who you are with, where you are, vacation time, work day, holiday or weekend.


I have found I am the most sad, the most lonely when I am in a crowd.
You too? Why is that.

Actually, I think I know - at least I know why it feels that way for me.

Moods come and go without warning.

As one of my favorite students would say, "I didn't see that coming!"

I can wake filled with wonder and joy. The air is as fresh just as the new day. The birds are all a twitter. I fly through my morning chores with ease. Then out of nowhere, sadness comes, for no apparent reason.

I continue on through the motions of the day surrounded by sadness.

Can't blame my hormones - bummer
Can't blame the man in the moon - bummer
Can't blame short, dark, rainy days. It's still summer - bummer



This morning I got up
to leave for town early.

It was a bit foggy out.

That's ok, so was my mind.
