We feel the "failures" heavy on our hearts. They loom so large their shadows block the light of the "successes." <br />I look back on your postings of the summer and I see magical photography, a growing Etsy shop, love lavished on animals and blogging friends. A moon garden that inspires. The outpouring of love that became a necklace.<br />I see a kindred spirit striving to keep beauty alive in what often feels like an ugly world. <br />I'm here to remind you that you are loved and thought about with much esteem. Hold onto this thought as Mother Nature begins the gradual sliding into the fairer season of autumn. sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358189683016220420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-29854312907125115502012-08-16T19:15:26.019+01:002012-08-16T19:15:26.019+01:00Sorry to hear you are feeling sad - I hope it pass...Sorry to hear you are feeling sad - I hope it passes soon. It has been a funny old year so far with the weather being rather unpredictable and then a string of wonderful celebrations which now seem as 'over' as the summer and everything feels a bit flat in some ways - like after Christmas. I have felt quite behind all year and both my gardens seem a bit of a mess, the pots of flowers never really took off, but maybe we will have an Indian summer in September and October to make up for the lack of sunshine earlier. Take care of yourself and maybe a few good peaceful walks will help cheer you up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-46272814884364087892012-08-16T15:36:23.310+01:002012-08-16T15:36:23.310+01:00I find loud noises aggravate me more than they eve...I find loud noises aggravate me more than they ever used to. I can't listen to music at the moment as it just irritates. When I felt sad or un-motivated I would always play Jimi Hendrix or Bach very loudly but I can't do that anymore. I think quite a few of us in varying degrees are suffering from SAD because of the weird weather we've had for most of this year. You could do with a few days away somehwere quiet and peaceful but if that isn't possible a lovely, long walk does help to lift the spirits.

Maybe a tonic of some kind (Floradix I usually find good) would help you get back your joie de vivre. As greenrabbit says a walk is always good for helping to get things in perspective and being able to tick some things of a list (as long as the list is not too long and thus depressing) helps too. It's been a funny old summer this year and we have just pulled up the tomato plants as they are blighted! Everything is out of kilter in the plant world so maybe you are suffering from the same (not tomato blight I don't mean!) If it would help to have a chat or to be in e-mail contact to have a talk that way do let me know as I've been there I know how it feels but it does pass.Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-13608416262333575102012-08-16T12:44:59.682+01:002012-08-16T12:44:59.682+01:00I think a good long brisk walk is just what you ne...I think a good long brisk walk is just what you need Simone to blow away those cobwebs!!<br />Fresh air and exercise are both very good for lifting the spirits.<br />Even doing some of those boring tasks is uplifting too, make a list (I love lists) and tick them off as you do them, very satisfying!<br />Put some music on, louder than the saw and drill.<br />And now having given you advice I'm going to take some of my own and take the duster for a walk around the house and wash the kitchen floor (and then tick it off the list)!!<br />V xxxxxgreenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-13176438066541155762012-08-16T11:03:03.760+01:002012-08-16T11:03:03.760+01:00You and me both - I just cannot get motivated with...You and me both - I just cannot get motivated with anything! No wonder you cannot get motivated with all that noise around you, think I'll join you on the long walk!
