The Bule Day


Everybody has bule days.These are miserable 1 days when you feel lousy,grumpy,lonely and utterly 2 exhausted 3.Days when you feel small and insignificant,when everything seems just out of reach.You can't rise to the occasion.Just getting started seems impossible.(This is not always such a bad thing.) You feel frustrated 4 anxious,which can induce a nail-biting frenzy 5 that can escalate 6 into a triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye! On blue days you feel like you're floating in an ocean of sadness. You're about to burst into tears at any moment and you don't even know why.Ultimately,you feel like you are wandering through life without purpose. It donesn't take much to bring on a blue day. You might just wake up not feeling or looking your best,find some new wrinkles,put on a little weight,or get a huge pimple 7 on your nose.You could forget your date's name or have an embarrassing photograph published.You might get dumped,divorced,or fired,make fool of yourself in public,be afflicted 8 with a demeaning nickname,or just have a plain old bad-hair day.Maybe work is a pain in the butt 9.You're under major pressure to fill someone else's shoes, your boss is picking on you,and everyone in the office is driving you crazy. Whatever the reason,you're convinced that someone up there doesn't like you.Oh what to do,what to do?


Well, if you're like most people,you'll hide behind a flimsy belief that everything will sort itself out.Then you will spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder,waiting for everything to go wrong all over again.All the while becoming crusty and cynical 10 or a pathetic,sniveling victim.Until you get so depressed 11 that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up or,even worse, become addicted 12 to Billy Joel songs.This is crazy,because you're only young once and you're never old twice.


Now just relax.Take some deep breaths .Try to meditate 13 if you can.Or go for a walk to clear your head.Accept the fact that you'll have to go of some emotional baggage.Never hang back. Get out there and go for it . After all, isn't that what life is all about?
