When I'm Blue...

I search in my own back yard for hope...


I'm not above listening to a self-help cd or three...



I will probably paint something red...


I journal about the way my life should be...



If still in doubt, I travel to some place where there are live bands playing Springsteen-covers and classic cars parked in front...



I will hang out in a coffee shop all alone and read really good women's magazines ...



And if all else fails, I will read a few names at the cemetery, and I know that no matter how bad it has gotten, it's not as bad as all that.
