I’m sad and dreary. All cried out. I feel like a maple tree with a weathered old tap that’s draining life, drop by drop.  There are a hundred reasons, and no reason.

It’s raining outside and the clouds are hanging low over the mountains, cloaking them in thick, cold grayness. If I didn’t live here, I wouldn’t even be able to tell that there are tall, majestic mountains on all sides of me. There is a thick fog hanging over the world, and seemingly over me. I feel like Eeyore’s long lost twin.

So today I stay inside and turn on the fireplace and maybe make some candies. I play soft Christmas music; but nothing overtly jolly.

A day like this sometimes is good. Tomorrow will be better.

2. I don’t mean to be that peppy positive girl that everyone hates, but I love days like that. I feel like people will think it’s normal if I’m still in my jammies at 5:00 in the afternoon. I stay in my pj’s and clean or bake or whatever I want. I use those days as lazy days.

3. I think you’re right. Everyone needs a day like that now and then. It makes the good ones feel even better.
