Bad combination, Annika with money and a bout of the blues LOL!
Does anyone else just want to eat chocolate and shop when they are depressed?

I should be sewing or cleaning the messy, messy house, but I'm drinking hot chocolate and browsing online But instead of blowing a bunch of money, I'm killing trees by ordering free catalogues...Which I feel bad about.... Good thing I've got my third chapter meeting this Sunday. That'll cheer me up I've got a bad case of too much family bickering and politics BLAH!

Hi Annika,

I'm sorry for the blues. Hope you are feeling better and happier soon. Be kind to yourself. Sending lots of happy thoughts and hugs your way.

I don't shop, money is so tight and there is always something we need, especially our kids!

Retail therapy works for me, but never clothing. When I'm feeling especially down, I go to L'Occitane and buy myself something amazing. When my feelings are hurt, or I've had a wreck of a day, I go to the pub and buy myself a pint, then to the ice cream shop. So, I shop when I'm blue, too.

I clean the house normally, but I REALLY clean when I'm angry!!!!

When I get the blues I take my dogs for a walk. Works wonders. Fresh air, great furry friends.

Give thanks to yourself everyday for all the wonderful things you do!

oh do i relate to you-sometimes retail therapy does make one feel better! sometimes i take 20 dollars and go to goodwill-it usually helps and you can get alot for $20. i know i've been glum past couple of days but it's been nasty and today it's cold so i've been working on little projects to keep me distracted. feel happy soon

whatever you are be a good one-abe lincoln

Oh Annika I hope you will be feeling better soon! I am praying for the Lord to encourage you and lift you up! I must confess, that a really good piece of gourmet chocolate does make me feel better :)

I think the blues are from my allergies. They are really killing me right now and making me tired.
We are having this huge wind storm right now 50 miles gusts...and its blowing dust and everything all over so I'm sneezing my silly head off lol!

Annika, I'm so sorry you're feeling blue. I am kind of going through something too. I think it's all the pollen though. I actually took a nap yesterday. I felt a little better but today it's raining. But everything's green! I am sending good happy thoughts your way. Can you smell fresh baked bread and granola? I am also going to make lemon thyme shortbread when the bread's done baking. These smells always make me happy. I'll blow some good smells your way.

Hugs, Kris

Happiness is simple.

I can totally relate to your post....
