Blah

Technical Error #2: This was supposed to post yesterday afternoon. I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much more optimistic today :) Thank you exercise-induced endorphins!

Technical Error #1: Adding to my blah attitude (described below), I'd just written a B+ post that pin-pointed exactly how I'm feeling today, and then 1-2-3 it disappeared. Awesome.

Anyway (I'll try to re-create it before I forget), have you ever felt down, and not for any particular reason? That's me today. We've been getting bits and pieces of bad news from/about people we love (not life/death or cancer bad news, don't worry) and I'm getting to the point where my frustration is so strong I can feel it in my bones. It's affecting my personality and my typically-cheerful self isn't overcoming the feelings. As I write this, in my head I can hear Jason say "you can't focus on the negative things that are happening, think of all of the positives instead" (oh Jas, you're so wise). If only it were that easy.

I need sunshine or something; some vitamin D. I hate feeling this way, especially since I was beyond words to describe how happy I was to see 2013 go. This year was supposed to be 365 days of celebration, and not just waking up and being thankful I'm here either. I'm talking fireworks. We're here, we're young, we're healthy and we have so many great things ahead of us. Twenty-two days in and it feels like 2013 hasn't quite ended yet. 

Go away bad news, you jerk. You're ruining 2014.
