Well, no one is exempted from feeling a bit of the blues during this period. It's not the holiday season really but just the times rolling by as if it doesn't pay us no mind.
Actually rolling is more of a mild word to use in this instance. Fate has been bamboozling us, all guns blazing to see how far we can still go despite the trauma, the pain, all the aches and dizziness that it brings.
One is either reduced to a mass of acquiescing minion, an angst-filled entity or even a reluctant rebel with all that's going on.
It's not just the natural disasters, the man-made wars or financial gloom enveloping all our earthly skies, but something that we can't quite put our finger on.
And they are still not calling it depressing times, there still are plenty of reasons to smile after all but the melancholy spreading almost everywhere. Somehow it pervades the air we breathe that one can almost taste it.
But I dare not venture into the unknown. I'd just categorize it the easiest way I know how and term it like the old-fashioned do - a simple case of the blues. Just in time for the yuletide season.
Still, if it doesn't entirely crush our spirits, we can still say we're okay. So, are we??
