Something’s not right

It's a glorious day

It's a glorious day

Today is one of those perfect autumn days. Clear skies, light breeze, not too cold and not too hot. The sort of days that many say that you feel good to be alive.

I am away from home in a room with a view. The beach is close.

So why is it all I think about is how WONDERFUL LIFE IS?

There is a balcony next to me. I am Eight floors up. There is a LOVELY GARDEN BELOW. THE RAIL WILL KEEP ME SAFE. I MUST HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT GARDEN IT IS SO NICE AND WILL BRING JOY TO ME.

If days like this do not provide cheer where is the hope?

Hi @Razzle

Glad things for you have settled.

I have my ups and downs, the general direction is more down than up.

The garden is looking more appealing each day.

@Orwellian I’m sorry to hear that, I was really hoping you were starting to see the sunshine and that you were starting to look up instead of down.

I really hope things start to look up for you soon ❤️❤️

The garden has never looked more inviting as it does tonight.

Hallo

@Orwellian @Razzle @The-red-centaur

Nearly 25 years ago, I was trying to be financially responsible and buy a plot near my brothers resting place, and join the worms with him ... but somehow I am still here ....need to connect with black humour and things being deadly ... but also connect to the living.
