Cry The Blues?

Cry the blues? For what! Nothing's ever what we thought it was, or would be. The expected gift is usually not quite what we'd hoped for. The show of sentiment, or affection expressed by the significant other, sometimes lacks just a little bit of something more we felt should've been wedged in there. The much-needed letter of endearment, or notice of importance, somehow figures out a way to arrive late. Our heads are just about to reach the surface long enough to raise them above water, and uh-oh, here comes another wave. Another famine. Another war, Another bill. Another emergency. Another tax. Another friend indeed in dire need... Another reason to, you guessed it, cry the blues.
OK, let's complain. Let's whine. Let's procrastinate. Let's wait for a little longer. Let's be depressed. Let's ask for the absolute best while settling for much less. Let's wait for someone else to succeed before we try something similar.
"It's their fault."
Who's? Who's fault is it?
My friends, my wife's my mother's, the government's, Global warming, the guy who always plays his music too loud while cruising by, the miserable old dog who growls at us, the time we should've done something in the past, but didn't. It's his/your/their/that experiences fault.
Alright now, allow yourselves to really feel it. Bawl, cry, sob, wail until it all tearfully streams out. Let it out. Acknowledge it. Feel it some more. Never forget it.. Cry those serious blues. And then stop!
Now, plant both your feet firmly in the dirt. With determination and focus, put one foot in front of the other. Repeat this process over and over again without distraction....AND DON'T STOP!
