Hi. All of you are so helpful to me.
I have an issue with the weather forecast/overly-enthusiastic weather people on TV. I know the solution is to turn them off and not listen, and I'm getting better than I was.
With me it goes like this: watch weather. Watch weather guy say how PICTURE PERFECT the weather will be for the WEEKEND, so go and GRAB YOUR SUNGLASSES folks and make some GREAT PLANS.!!!!!!!!!! EVERY WEEKEND MOMENT COUNTS!! Go for an ice cream....
and it goes on and on.
When I hear stuff like that, I get depressed. I feel like I'm useless and trapped because I don't have any plans. I feel like everyone else (ha ha) is going to have the BEST WEEKEND EVER and mine will be, well, just ordinary. I'm a church organist so I have to play for church on Saturday at 4 and Sunday at 10:30 so it is hard for us to get away.
Lately (since last Labor Day) I made a pact with myself not to get stuck at home on the weekend. I go horseback riding, take the kids somewhere in the car, go for a hike, etc. So I am getting better.
But I find that golly-gee weather guy triggers me a lot. It is one of those things that has become ingrained in my mind and is so hard to get rid of.
Does anyone else feel that way or have the same issue?
