Woe is Me

There’s a little bit of hope, so you have something to cling to.”

Walking to work this morning, I overheard a woman say this while talking on her cellphone. I’m usually not much of an eavesdropper — I’m in my own little world when I’m walking — but for some reason these words jumped into my head and echoed in my brain all the way to the office and throughout the day.

I’m a bit overwhelmed right now: stress from work, worrying, regret, being treated like an idiot, failed attempts at reconnecting, lack of time, money, being told things that hit too close to home, and the usual bag of woes I lug around on my back. Plus, I think cabin fever is setting in. The only thing I can do is keep busy, clinging to the hope that spring will alleviate some things, time for others, and just moving along for those hard to get out stains.

I really shouldn’t post when I’m in a bad mood, but, according to popular opinion, then I’d never post anything. Whatever, I have Valentine’s Day cards to finish. Yes, that’s right, Valentine’s Day Cards.
