Kind of Blue
My friend, Kim Frohsin, posted this image she photographed recently at some construction site in San Francisco. I had it as my screen saver because it’s beautiful and blue. But my blues kicked in this week, and I can’t look at the blue without feeling my blues skim the top of my ocean. So I’m changing my screen saver to something that fills me with hope, not more blues. Because as Emmy Lou Harris sang the thing about the blues is you keep on fallin cuz there ain’t no bottom …
I have the kind of blues that is transient – I know this about myself – my depression is fleeting – my joy is overwhelming – and in between there is a great deal to be grateful for – I am going to focus on the attitude of gratitude and try to ride this tide till it washes ashore.
