Last month I felt old and depressed. Like a dent in a rusted-out Ford. <\/p>\n
It could have been the rain – carrying an umbrella puts me in a bad mood. All that delay – what didn’t I put off in June? Could have been. But wasn’t. <\/p>\n
It was me. Just me. Full of excuses, wasted days and wait-a-minutes. <\/p>\n
This month it’s different. And I don’t mean I’m-gonna-lose-five-pounds different, which really isn’t different at all, just something you say to make yourself feel better when you’re wolfing down chocolate and Pinot Grigio. <\/p>\n
I mean real<\/em> different. <\/p>\n This month I’m smiling with sweet feet – new pedi bar down the street – a sunny disposition and a whole pocketful of possibility. <\/p>\n I’m all about making things happen. Being more like Billy Joe and gettin ‘er done. <\/p>\n I’m optimism and a toothy grin with a good looking man beside me.<\/p>\n Life just doesn’t get any better. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last month I felt old and depressed.
