40andyounger(for now) thinks I am too political, too depressing, not uplifting, etc.  So do some other people.

I am a neurotic, Jewish, urban professional in her mid-forties.  How am I supposed to see the bright side of life? 

IT IS NOT IN MY DNA.

That is why I have invited some friends to contribute to my blog, as a way of lightening things up.  In the mean time I will struggle, STRUGGLE, to find something that would even make me sing in the rain (ok, a person could catch pneumonia) or walk on air (ok, a person could fall and break her neck).  Ok ok ok ok ok ok.  This is going to be hard.
