Bummed-out reader wants a change

Dear Carolyn,

I see other people around me who appear to be content and happy. I want to feel like that but all I ever feel is a sense of misery. When I’m not bummed out, I’m worried to death about the bills and the economy and finding the next load. It feels like my mind is never at rest.

I would like to change. Where should I start?

Jim

Dear Jim,

You have already started! Just by saying you want to feel better is a step in the right direction.
