Last night, in a therapy group, when I went up to the whiteboard to write down the important themes in the room, I noticed a lot of them had to do with ups and downs. The ups and downs included people’s moods, the U.S. stock market, and perceived successes and failures.
Are you up for or down for my photos from yesterday?







Somebody recently gave me a dreamcatcher. I’ll be hanging that up soon.
Happy thoughts bring me up when I’m down.

Ready for some up and down music?
I’m up for any comments you write down below this post.
Thanks to all who helped me with the ups and downs of this post and to you — of course! — for all the ups and downs you may bring.
Thank you too Ann and have a nice weekend!!!
Thanks for this very up comment!
So how did your arm cope with writing UP and DOWN
Whenever I moved my arm up I felt down because of the pain, Derrick.
🙁
May your ups and downs move through like clouds … and your shoulder feels better soon!
Thank you, Val.
Loved your song/video selection, In my vinyl collection, and life is definitely like a roller-coaster ride, up and down.
Loved your comment!
It’s pretty good to wake up and face your blog before I head down the road to work, Ann.
It’s very good to read your thoughts when I’m down because my shoulder pain wakes me up, Mark.
I sent a dreamcatcher to my Mum a couple of years ago for her birthday. I then wrote a poem for it. If I may?

I believe my sister hung it up in her bedroom for her. I don’t know who will have it now.
Thanks so much for sharing your dream of a poem.
Thanks Ann. Have a great weekend.
I’m up for anything….no wait….I’m down for anything….. uhm……
I’m up for anything from you, Colleen.
I’ve found that in order to get down you have to get up, but the important thing is to be happy where you are.
Pain gets me down and makes it difficult to be happy where I am, but you help me get up, Chris.
“Spinning Wheel,” how the name alone brings up the song vividly for me! I recall it from a high school summer with a special boyfriend I almost married. How many ups and downs might have been met or avoided had I done that! I hope you’re feeling better since your recent plotz.
I’m feeling worse, which gets me down, but your vivid and special comments help, Sunny.
I’m so sorry you feel worse, Ann!
Blood, Sweat and Tears! Wow, I hadn’t heard them for years, and I had never seen them in a video. Good for you finding them. I hope your arm is better soon and the rest of you. sometimes you just need some rest and to take care of yourself. That’s what the weekend is for…
Thanks, Lisa!
Life goes up and down like the elevator and all we could do is just keep standing! ╭(♡・ㅂ・)و ̑̑
Outstanding comment! Thanks for understanding.
At my age these ups and downs of life are dreadfully arduous – bad knees.
I’m so sorry that you have bad knees, Carl. Many thanks for your good comments and your very good blog!
