Fall Blues… October 10, 2007

I hate this time of year. Literally. Fall and winter give me the blues because everything dies and everything beautiful goes away and leaves me with a cold and empty world to look at. There are no leaves after the they’ve fallen off the trees and the ground is dirty brown. It’s too cold to be outside. Everything around town gets littered up with holiday lights and sale signs, and well, neither one looks pretty. I always slept in on Christmas, even though I knew presents were involved. Thanksgiving is just a house full of people competing over pie and relishing in their accomplishments. No one ever told me I did anything good. I remember spending some holidays with people I didn’t even know because my parents wanted to go to their friends. Literally, I hate this time of the year. I know I won’t accomplish much, and I know that the things I’ve worked so hard to create are going to slip by the wayside. It was cold this morni ng when I left for work, I cried all the way there.
