Word of the Day: Wistful

I think I’m in some sort of mood.  That mood could be described as wistful.

wist·ful

 [wist-fuhl]

adjective

1.

characterized by melancholy; longing; yearning.
2.

pensive, especially in a melancholy way.
I considered listless (having or showing little or no interest in anything; languid;spiritless; indifferent) and I’m not sure exactly why I know these words (ok I read a lot so that’s why) but after reading the definitions they just go together.
Maybe it’s a post-holiday downer with things going back to whatever normal was before.  Less spending.  More hours in the office.  Maybe it’s too much Chick Lit or not enough Rom-Com.
Or PMS.
Whatever it is, it’s bleh.
And might call for a tiny bit of retail therapy.

  1. holy crap. that describes exactly how i feel. it sounds so much better than depression- don 't think I'm there yet. your site does make me smile though 🙂

    1. yeah depression is like 3 quarters in a downturn. wistfull/listless is like a crummy week. it bees like that some time.
      but i'm glad you like it here 🙂
