Quote Of The Day

One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guilt, anger, love, loss, or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go. Mareez Reyes

Breaking News: It’s Friday!

My friends, It’s Friday! I am very, very glad it is! Let’s finish the week strong heading into the weekend.

Feeling Blue

I suffer from some level of situational depression. Nothing like many people suffer from but I feel it. I am taking medication that helps. Much of it comes from stress and other stuff in my heart and head. Life can be a struggle when you are going to work daily and all it seems to be about is paying bills and meeting quotas. Then you see how some folks are better off in one way or another.

When you work hard in a job that is mentally demanding it takes its toll. We have had some bad weather lately which adds to the cloudy demeanor of my soul. Usually I am a positive person but today I just wasn’t, I was in a funk. as I write this I am doing somewhat better.

Being real means being real and this is my reality. Feeling blue is what we all do every now and then.
