Well......since you posted this, I have the feeling you actually want to talk about what the heck is going on.

So, what the heck is going on?

Dear Gloria,

Come on, let us know what is happening. Most of the day is gone where I live, and we need to wish a HAPPY birthday somehow before the day is gone. What's happening?

Anxiety or the blues because you looked at photos of your birthday last year?

Happy birthday to you! Please try to enjoy yourself

Ok, Gloria.

I understand. You want to enjoy the peace, quiet and the fact your anxiety is under control right now. I have had birthdays like that. Didn't have the energy and didn't want anything going on that would cause the anxiety to rise to high gear. But if you have family with you now, and the anxiety is under control, if there is a bottle of Coke (no alcohol with your meds, right?) and a few fancy glasses, why don't you have a quiet toast in honor of the whole family....for you for not giving up and to the others for their support of you. :)

And please take your shoes off so those well manicured tootsies join in......I just can't still for a manicure and pedi, I just start wiggling in the chair wondering can't she do this faster? :)

Hi Gloria_carr, maybe the answer to anxiety/depression is being pampered once in a while. Belated Happy Birthday! x

Gloria, that's the thing about anxiety whether excited or stressed, our over sensitized nervous system reacts the same. Church has gotten me into that state many times because of the emotional tug at our heart. Don't let that keep you away though. Don't let anxiety control where you go and what you want to do.

Deep slow breaths when this happens can help quiet down your mind and body. Have a good day :)

Well, it's a bit late, but here goes my favorite children's song for birthdays:

Happy, happy birthday

May all your dreams come true.

Happy, happy birthday

from all of us to you.

May you have happy birthdays

all your whole life through.

Happy, happy Birthday to YOUUUUUUU! :)

Well, happy birthday to all of you. That song was sung by an American Cowboy on a children's TV program every day when I was a child.

Ive never heard of it well we wont get into age! Lol😄

in reply toGloria_carr

Well! I have you know it was produced by one of two channels in Louisville. A person would be the envy of the rest of elementary if chosen to b on the program and sing along. Ahhh, very special honor.

Thank you Glorica_carr. It's a good day; I've been getting things done despite anxiety, in preparation for going to work tomorrow. Hope your evening is lovely, and that you feel peaceful and calm.
