The end of the summer makes me sad. I hate when I walk in to a store and they have moved all of their brightly colored clothing, house goods etc. off the shelf and replaced it with brown, yellow and green items for the fall. That is so depressing to me. Bright colors are happy colors!

Knowing I can’t go to the beach and lay out on a hot summer day makes me depressed.

Holidays bring around sad times in my life. My great-grandmother passed away on Christmas, my great-grandfather passed away on Halloween, my precious precious grandmother passed away a little over two weeks before Christmas and my grandfather passed away a week after Valentine’s Day.

I would rather just skip over the depressing holidays and move on to New Year’s when I am thinking about what I want to accomplish that year. This year I made a long list of things I wanted to accomplish before the end of the year. I hand wrote them all out and put them on my re-fridgerator for a daily reminder.

I think I have accomplished most of them. Go me! HA! (That’s another post!)

It seems as though the roughest times of my life has always been around the holidays.  I can imagine one day them not being so depressing, just don’t think it will be this year.

So anyway, the end of the summer makes me sad. The thought of sitting on the beach or next to the pool with a margarita, good music and good friends brings a smile to my face. Knowing that I won’t get to do that again for a while makes me sad.
