I have been so disgusted lately, notwithstanding the loss of my pet and all, it just seems so depressing.  Everything goes up - except your salary - yet you work hard and they want you to work even harder with no compensation whatsoever.  Both my husband and myself just feel like packing-up and moving somewhere else?  But where???  I think that the month of February is in itself a dark, cold, hard and depressing month which has something to do with this particular time of the year.  Is it just me or is it February????  I would be very interested to know how everyone else is feeling.  Products we buy are more and more unsafe for us and especially the kids,  the cost for anything today is through the roof, where are we headed????

Hey there BronxGirl...

I am so sorry to read of your loss. I have been thru this myself with a cat...and am going to have to face it again sadly sooner than later as two of my babies are on the older side and not in the best of health. At least you have all your great memories and pictures to always have Sassy at your side.

As for your comment about February...I think it is really just a matter of perspective. Unfortunately we all have bad things happen to us...and sometimes quite freakishly things can clump themselves into one month. My very bad month is actually November...things may not have all happened at the same time in fact, many years apart...but almost always bad things happen in November for me. It is true, prices of everything are constantly on the rise while our paychecks remain the same...or even get cut. There used to be a time when I thought I would live and die in NYC...but I am growing more and more open to the idea of moving. In the end though...I think it all boils down to how you lived your life. If you make the best of it...and love as if every day were your last...then maybe just maybe...things might make more sense. At least that is what I am hoping.

I had some of the same thoughts this month. Due to my rent being raised 240 dollars more... :(

But I have to take comfort in the fact that we can pay it, and there are so many who have no place to live at all. Not that I feel I am better off, but I am thankful that God has given me good health to be able to provide for my family. So many are not as fortunate :(

I hope that this dreary time passes for you very soon, and that you can see the great in all around you!

Thank you for your thoughts. I think that with Sassy it was like the cherry on top so to speak. It just seems so dreary and depressing with the way everything is going. I do have a lot to be happy about and I am. I usually take what I am given and make the best of it. Could it just possibly be this time of year that makes one feel more overburdened and depressed or upset about things????

BronxGirl1,it is the month of febuary that's depressing.it is the dead of winter and with it still getting dark early it seems like all we do is work and sleep. I myself have lived in arizona for some years and it also got depressing with it being sunny every day"you would think what a beautiful thing".things will get better as we get into the nice weather here,with many more outdoor activities to do. once we change the clocks forward it seems like we have more time to do stuff. just hang in there BronxGirl,it will get better!!
