I feel very, very down.

[Writer]

My chest has swelled. My eyes are wet. I feel like I have little hope.

I don't like to write at length when I'm like this, but would you mind sending me some flowers? My birthday is next week.

Writer.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. What do you have?

[Writer]

4. Oh just something I've dealt with since my adolescent years.

I've worked on it often over my life and have overcome much of it, yet it still emerges now and then.

[Mrs_Beastman]

2. Happy B day

So how old? I think a lot of people get blue around their b-day. It is a time to reassess.

[Writer]

6. 30, but actually I'm looking forward to it.

I always have been underestimated because of my age. It's nice to be closer to a decade where I will be taken more seriously.

[Mrs_Beastman]

8. True

I'm 31, but still look younger then my age. A blessing and a curse.

[Roland99]

11. I'm 38 and still get carded

:(



Hell...some of my oldest daughter's friends think I'm her brother or something!

:rofl:

[Mrs_Beastman]

12. impressive

people guess me at 23-25.

[Writer]

18. I have a similar issue.

Without make-up I look around 25 or so. When I was corporate and wore suits and make-up (when I was in my mid-20's) I looked to be in my early 30's. I am de-aging.

[Roland99]

20. We're like Merlin...living backwards in time

:)

3. Fellow gemini

This has been a tough year or two for geminis. Things are supposed to get better for us in July and definitely by the fall.
Now, if we can only hold on that long...

[Writer]

9. Yes, yes indeed regarding geminis...

I had a good year last year - I had a long-term temp job that paid for my first semester of graduate school. I got into graduate school at a top state university.

Earlier this week I was brushing up on my resume and realized how much I had done in my early to mid 20's before we were relocated. Then I look at what I have done since moving to this stupid little city and I feel like I've wasted my life for the last 3 years or so.

[Sanity Claws]

10. I feel like I'm coming out of a long sleep

I started getting remotivated within the past few days, after being depressed for some time. I hope that you start feeling better too. BTW, do you know your rising sign?

[Writer]

14. I'm not sure

How do I figure out my rising sign?

[Sanity Claws]

16. You need some information

You need date of birth, time of birth, place of birth.
If you have all of that go to www.astro.com
and the site will do a chart for you and calculate your rising sign. It's fun!!

[Writer]

21. Ahhh. Here we are...

Sun in Gemini
Moon in Pisces
Ascendent in Cancer, Moon in the Ninth House
Venus in the First House
Saturn in the First House
Moon in the Ninth House
Sun in the Twelfth House


Ahhh... that Pisces... that the problem. I am an extremely determined young woman who has been forced out of her career due to her husband's job relocation. That has been extremely difficult to figure out. At times I have been proactive and have done the best I can with what little opportunities around me, and at other times I have not dealt with it well.

[Sanity Claws]

23. When did the career change occur?

I'm actually now in the process of making big changes in my career. Wondering whether this is a gemini thing.

[Writer]

24. We moved from the NYC area in Jan. of 2002.

To Northern Colorado. And it wasn't a career change as much as a career end. At that time I couldn't even locate retail work because of the recession.

[Sanity Claws]

26. Sorry to hear.

I certainly wish you the best. Happy birthday!!

[progmom]

5. happy birthday, and some hugs

:hug:

[Writer]

7. Thank you, progmom. Those are beautiful.

We have some beautiful flowers in our backyard - peonies, lillies, bleeding hearts, roses, etc.

I always have been a cheap date. Flowers always make me smile.

[GOPisEvil]

13. Here are some flowers from my garden.

Happy birthday, and I hope you get to feeling better soon.

[Writer]

15. Aww. Thank you very much.

Those are sweet. What are they called?

[GOPisEvil]

19. I believe that is some form of salvia.

I get all the names confused. :)

[SmokingJacket]

17. Another gemini checking in.

I'm a few years older than you... and I look every bit of it! :-(

Here are some flowers for you:



I love having a June birthday, because that's when all the roses come out...

[Writer]

22. Gorgeous!

Thank you. I love roses.

[maveric]

25. Hang in there Writer. PM me if you need to talk. OK?

I'm kind of in the same funk today.
My birthday is tuesday. I'll be 49.

[Writer]

30. Thanks, maveric

I'll keep it in mind. :)

[alarimer]

27. Happy Birthday

Mine is next week too and I have been out of sorts too and I think maybe that's why. I am a little older than you (37-eek) and I don't know what you might be down about but I always consider the alternative to not having birthdays and I feel much better.

[Writer]

33. That's a good way of looking at it.

I always switch between holding a glass half-full and holding on that's half-empty.

[u4ic]

28. Happy Birthday

and just for you...........

[Writer]

31. Ohhhhh that's so sweet.

And you're yellow with no nose! Who would have thought! ;) j/k of course

[u4ic]

36. Sorry, the jaundice is catching up with me again....

:D

[Maestro]

29. Hope you feel better

In keeping with the flower pics to help with your mood, here are some flowers by my garden, cultivated by my better half. I just take the picture.





And a single rose to reminding you that you are cared for...

[Writer]

32. Thank you, Maestro.

That's so very kind of you.

I do hope you get that job, btw.

[Maestro]

37. No problem

Feeling better?

[Writer]

40. I am feeling better today, thank you.

:) :) :)

[Left Is Write]

34. I'm sorry.

I hope whatever it is gets better.

[Writer]

35. Thanks. Actually I already am feeling better.

I just ate some high carbohydrate food. Not good for my waistline but it uplifted my spirits somewhat.

Thanks again.

[fleabert]

38. for you!

straight from my garden to you...happy early birthday. :hug:

[Writer]

39. Lillies and Irises!

Those are so very pretty. Thank you. I do feel better now.
