more on the blues

A friend shared this.

We are going to have periodic bouts with the "moody blues." It seems much more productive to say "every human since creation has had this thing, and we always will have."

The only time the blues become a signal that we need help, is when they become immobilizing. I wish you times to look the blues in the face and say "hey this is normal, so what am I on to next." I think the best thing that can happen for all of us when we feel blue is to not feel guilty, but to just get out and walk in the fresh air (further than we really planned to walk that day) or just get out among people.

I also enjoyed another one of your comments. The person said, "so go help someone. Getoutside of yourself. Give yourself away."

Keep your chin up. It is all good.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Jeff,
This must be weighing heavy on your mind. Sorry about that.
We are coming off the cloudest, rainiest October in history. Your kids have flown the roost. You are faced with the bitter/sweet fact that you are parting with close friends to start a new church................
I hate it that you are stuck in the bla's. You are awesome. In the sort list of my favorite people. At least you arent playing for the Chiefs.
It will pass.
