It seems like it will never go away, but it always does. I definitely believe it is a weather thing. I've been feeling the same way lately and I think I am just ready for a change of seasons! Hope you come out from your blanket soon.<br />Take care,<br />LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067859108923231530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-36679120827693154372010-08-25T17:15:40.401+01:002010-08-25T17:15:40.401+01:00I am also just emeging from the greyness of low pe...I am also just emeging from the greyness of low period and I think its just the way it is these days and probably our bodies way of getting us to slow down and recouperate our energy and replenish our spirit...

Or perhaps a self-indulgent dayout with a girlfriend - lunch and a funny movie ( if you can find one ). I always find company is what I need when I am down.<br />Cheers<br />HelenHelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-33190884355459875812010-08-25T10:18:01.700+01:002010-08-25T10:18:01.700+01:00Hi Jane

I know I'll feel gloomy soon with the onset of dark nights and wet, cold weather. I have to surround myself with cheery things to help.<br />Hope things continue to go on the up for you...<br /><br />PS - yes, you're right - the last photo is Montague House - we stopped off on the way down as my son wanted to go to the Haynes Motor museum.xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428734866238643758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-73065524954032533852010-08-25T08:57:38.316+01:002010-08-25T08:57:38.316+01:00Sorry to hear you've been having a bad week - ...Sorry to hear you've been having a bad week - the sun does lift the spirits so doesn't it.

I often wonder if I suffer from SAD becuase I love the light so much or maybe it's just one of those 'time of life' moments. Keep going with the memories. I don't think you need to worry about quantity over quality - the latter is there in abundance.

I'm so glad you can tell us how you feel. Cold gloomy days are just too much aren't they? I have to take extra vitamin D in winter to get me through.

I love how you call them grey blanket days...sums it up so nicely. What you said about guilt is so much part of the problem...you know there are people worse off than you are, so then you feel guilty for feeling so low, which of course makes you feel worse and around it goes.<br /><br />Glad you are feeling slightly better today.
