I need something to lift me out of my purple fog. Finances preclude a new instrument, so maybe I should seek a dalliance with a beautiful young strumpet.
Or a French whorn.
Or even a base viol.

Not to harp on it, but if you fiddle around a little with the numbers, and maybe sell something for a fixed price, obo, then forget everything and just enjoy some Sunday morning sax, we may all reed a more upbeat post in the future.

A long walk through a natural landscape has been shown to be beneficial to the psyche.

A morning in remote environs with large caliber shooting irons usually clears the mental sinuses for me. Or actually, a brick of .22's and suitably animated (non-live) targets and some stout coffee works even better. Or going for the morning ride on the motorcycle. Either one demands complete concentration, being 100% present at all times, and I find this seems to re-align the pressing issues.
Or counting everything that's right. Bills paid, roof over my head, food in the kitchen, everyone has their health. Not much to complain about after that, puts things in perspective.
Or you can listen to 'Who's Next' cranked up so loud you can't hear a gun go off, that works, especially after four Red Bulls or a pot of Seaport Dark Roast.
In any event, don't go all Dan Fogelberg or Dead or some other wimpy 'get in touch with your feelings' . . . . . I'd much rather stand in a thunderstorm at the bottom of a lightning rod. Works every time.

Personally when I am feeling low I avoid ALL music. Sometimes it seems that every lyric is written about me - especially Pete Townshend. Dude has some depth. Even instrumental stuff I can connect to my mood and it becomes a soundtrack to self-pity.
Nature, helping others and doing purposeful tasks that can be completed often times help.
