I go way back with the Pixies. Their song "Where Is My Mind" is #1 in my heart.  When Chase Eagleson swoons and swells with this particular song... it's like he's turning the key to the gate between my head and heart. An adventurous path it is, indeed. 

As luck would have it, I was searching for that key today. It's been one of those days that I just keep thinking "I don't wanna..." but, I hafta.

There's a funny thing that we meloncholics do... it's something like wallowing but there is a sense of enjoyment in the down, wanting and waiting for the up. Marinating in the sigh and trying to make it right again.

On these "I don't wanna" days, when I can steal some time for myself, I drive.  Usually, if my inner water magnet is on, I end up staring out into some creek, river or sound.   

For me, staring out at a moving body of water, with no one else to entertain is some good therapy (tho interestingly, if one of my friends turned up I'd be overjoyed to be discovered 😊.  While meloncholics and loners are closely related we are only similar... not the same ).  And accompanied by THIS soul swooner.... I'm glad I have a comfortable chair, a beautiful view and a repeat button.... I can personally claim at least 1,000 of the plays on this song.   Go on, give it a whirl.

Swoon.
