Somedays it just feels right to have a good cry. Somedays you feel unsupported, unfriended, uninspired, unmotivated, unmoving and all around unloved. The bitter cold doesn't help much either as your limbs and digits have trouble moving and seem to creak and show their age.
On days like this, you don't want to go to any tea party. A cup of tea might help, though. A nice hot cup of tea. Or coffee sweetened with Girl Scout Thin Mint creamer. Mmmm, yes, that does the trick.
Thank goodness tomorrow is another day. And not an elevator in sight today. Go figure.
Tea is definitely your best friend on a day like this. Make a whole pot! Some days just have to be written off ...in fact on such days I tell myself isn't it great that a day is only 24hrs. Imagine if a day lasted 100 hours; now they would be super-hard to get through! Hope the sun emerges for your tomorrow.
@smellychelli And for the record...it was a dramatization with eye drops. Thanks, lady. I was feeling this way last night, but pretty good today thankfully!
A dramatization? Girl you should be an actress!!! And you are right, sometimes things are just not right.. I don't know about the cold weather but believe me, it happens in a hell's heat weather too. Things always get better after a night sleep :)
Amanda, hugs are winging their way across the space between us. Great capture, which I appreciate you've dramatised (brilliantly). Some days are just blue days
@deeganp No, not too sad. It's Monday, and they can be hard days, but it's been mostly good. Last night I was blue, though and having some of these lying thoughts. Wanted to share.
I love this shot!!! And I'm having the same kind of day. I've always believed that every now and then a good Pity Party is exactly what the doctor ordered. Get it over with and out of the way. It is necessary. The winter has been very unkind to us this year with the incredible cold and more snow than we've seen in I don't know when.
If you keep feeling this way come on down and we'll have a glass of wine and a good long heart to heart. Women are the best that way, also
So so so well captured. Winter makes it hard to stay upbeat, I think. I'm all for allowing yourself some good depressing feelings now and then! Hope your spirits improve before too long!
Cute hat even with your sad face! Your kids still off for days and days? We are doing "online" class again tomorrow - trying to post assignments and have kids do stuff at home. A little difficult for 8 year olds!
You make me laugh Amanda but seriously you need some sun and warm weather. You have the right to feel like you do. The park was packed with people yesterday and has been week after week with our unseasonable warm weather. I will send some to you. Love your photo. You have selfies down. So nice and clear, like I am sitting in the same room with you.
You do look cute in that hat. I love how creative you are. I think the cuppa and cookies are always a good idea but having a good friends shoulder to cry on seems to work best . Hope your having a great day.
I am thinking that this isn't how your mood really is today? Well I hope not anyway. I'm enjoying your selfies Mad Hatters thingy, though 365 has had a very narrow escape if you catch my drift?!
@leananiemand I used to just focus on something and try to get in that spot just so and hope for the best. It used to take me multiple takes and sometimes redos. Recently at @bobfoto 's wise advise I tried putting the camera in auto and giving that a go. The focus is coming out better on the first try now. Thanks kindly , lady.
@seanoneill Nope, today is sunnier...and I really wasn't blue when I did the shot. I have days, moments, but mostly without tears thankfully. I'd been pondering a sad hatter shot for awhile and the weather gives me the blues a bit and decided to throw on a hat, put in some eye drops and giver a whirl. Narrow escape? Are you telling me to get a life?;-) I really am doing much much better this year!
@adamj All good, my friend. Thanks. I am an actress, mostly. The winter does get to me on days, I'll admit. It's the grayness and being forced to stay in because of the weather, I think. I'm not used to it.
@amandal May I speak plainly? Yes? Good....Winter sucks! My toes and fingers are frozen all of the time. I'm constantly lugging a change of shoes and socks with me for travel and office wear. Commuting is particularily uncomfortable. Hang in there. Things should be easing up a bit in about 8 weeks.
@bobfoto That I even said that, thought that makes me gag. So not a mall girl in any way shape or form. But downtown Prada. Oh that makes my heart sing.
@maggiemae A little bit of both, lady. Thank you. I LOVE to act and doing selfies on 365 is my only outlet for that now. I really need to pursue community theater. Me, too. This is a caring community.
@eyesmile@dandelionmama@wind_of_the_sothern_sea Thanks so much, my friends. Really appreciate your support and feedback. We all have such days, yes? So glad that they are few and far between.
Thank you all so much for your sweet comments about this sad selfie. I wasn't really upset when I did it, but do have waves of blue days this cold gray time of year when I am stuck indoors for days on end. A funny thing about doing this shot is that I did it in the same room as my daughter as she watched a bit of TV and she didn't even notice her mama crying right there next to her. It was pretty therapeutic to do this shot. Thanks again for your concern and kindness.
I can relate. I'm still a crying mess from so many things these days. But I look far worse. I can't even imagine what my sadness looks like and I'm afraid to capture it.
@darylo Aw, thanks. I had plenty where I had this really awful fat neck thing going on. Ugh. I need to eat less chocolate. Wish I could give you a hug!;) thanks, lady.
@kjarn Thanks, Miss Kathy. Really appreciate that. Glad that my sad tears can bring joy to your life;-). Nah, I was faking, but do feel this way sometimes...don't we all?! Thank you!
@psychographer Eye drops and thinking about sad stuff. There's a lot of sad stuff, but all in all, life is grand:). thanks, Lisa.
If you keep feeling this way come on down and we'll have a glass of wine and a good long heart to heart. Women are the best that way, also
@adamj You are a New Yorker. You must speak plainly and I agree.
