One Of Those Days

How's my mental health today?

It's one of those days!

I'm tired.

I'm tired of reading about home invasions and an 88 year old woman beaten for the sake of a little cash.

I'm tired of kids shooting and stabbing one another.

I'm tired of people using their choice to overindulge alcohol and other mind altering substances as an excuse for their lawbreaking behaviour.

I'm tired of people using their poverty and dysfunctional upbringing to justify their criminal behaviour.

I'm tired of victims being blamed for not being more careful and prudent.

I'm tired of people whining and complaining about paying fines after being nabbed by photo radar. If you don't want to get fined - don't speed; don't run amber and red lights!

I'm tired of being depressed.

I have a choice. Do I Give in to the depression and squirrel myself away with a 'brain candy' book or do I go do something to help me feel better?

It's time to do something.

I'll start by going for a walk. (Exercise gets the endorphins going).
