Thread Name: BS: The Miseries...
Subject: RE: BS: The Miseries...
For some, life is eternally beige... some are born beige, some have beigeness thrust upon them....

I prefer yellow.

A good cure for the beiges is to get some colours out and do something with them.. whether it's paint, fabric, paper, crayons or whatever... in fact, sometimes, stealing some of Limpit's colours and a page in her colouring books works wonders. It's useless, it's time consuming, it's pathetic and pointless, but hey, it keeps your brain and your hands occupied for a while, and quite often, you'll find yourself a bit happier after you've done it.

Creating something is a good way of diverting the brain, and keeping the beigeyness away.... which explains why I presently have nearly 100 Christmas cards on my dining room table to sell next week.... I've been making them all year - it has not been a particularly good one health-wise - and got myself off the anti-depressants at the same time.

Good luck with it... it will pass, even though it may not feel as if it will.
