I'm blue...

Do you ever wake up in the morning and just know that you are going to have a blue day?? Well, that was me this morning, I wanted to pull the sheets back over my head and sleep this day away. Even the sun shining so brightly this morning couldn't take away the blues, and I love waking up to the sun. Do we know why the blues will just suddenly decide to pay us a visit?? Is it because I am sick of this winter weather? Is it because the financial state of things is worrying me? Is it because I know my sister is moving away soon? Or because I just feel lonely today and need a friend? Maybe its all of the above, I don't know. But I am feeling blue. What do I do when I am feeling blue? Comfort food and a good book. What do you do when the blues pay you a visit???
