Everybody has blue days. These are miserable days when you feel lousy, grumpy, lonely, and utterly exhausted. Days when you feel small and insignificant, when everything seems just out of reach. You can’t rise to the occasion. Just getting started seems impossible.  
     On blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you. This is not always such a bad thing. You feel frustrated and anxious, which can induce a nail-biting frenzy that can escalate into a triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye! 
     On blue days you feel like you’re floating in an ocean of sadness.  You’re about to burst into tears at any moment and you don’t even know why. Ultimately, you feel like you’re wandering through life without purpose. You’re not sure how much longer you can hang on. It doesn’t take much to bring on a blue day. You might just wake up not feeling or looking your best, find some new wrinkles, put on a little weight, or get a huge pimple on your nose. 

     Oh what to do, what to do? 
     Well, if you’re like most people, you’ll hide behind a flimsy belief that everything will sort itself out. Then you’ll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, waiting for everything to go wrong all over again. Until you get so depressed that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up or, even worse, become addicted to Billy Joel songs. 
     This is crazy, because you’re only young once and you’re never old twice.
