sigh

feeling mopey, and feeling like im spending too much time feeling mopey. I feel like people are gonna get sick of mopey kelly real quick. Im not looking for sympathy/attention (i dont think), just not thrilled with various aspects of the world and for some reason its been bugging me more lately. I just cant seem to let shit slide lately.. i carry the worlds problems around in my head. I should not be up late at night worrying over the state of the national health care system.. but I am and it feels kinda silly in the light of day. Im stressed over money (who isnt?) Im stressed over my job for a multitude of reasons that I am not going to go into here. Im stressed over my dog getting closer and closer to dying (i guess the same could be said for every living thing on the planet). Im stressed over not practicing my music enough (read ever), about if i should spend the money on violin lessons when i dont even practice the whistle very much, about jeff's family, about my family, about global warming, and the total lack of world peace. Tell me how to get all these worries to shut the hell up and let me sleep. I run thru imaginary conversations with my worries in my head night after night and i cant seem to get them to go away. I guess this is the definition of anxiety, but dammit i live a pretty charmed life... why the hell am i sitting up at 3am wondering if Obama is gonna get the health care system fixed or if a co-worker's family member will ever apologize to her for what she said last weekend... etc.. I would really really like an off button or at least a pause button for the 'voices/worries' in my head. And now im worried that too many people are gonna read this if i post it to facebook, which is kinda the point of blogging. sigh. im a goof. i get this. just not sure how to fix the situation so i can go back to appreciating all the great shit in my life.
