For reasons that I will not discuss here, but most women will understand, I have a feeling of impending doom, mixed with downtroddenness and a desire for more sleep than usual. This will pass, but not before I've complained to everyone within reach. If we were talking about alcohol we might say that I'm not a pleasant drunk.
On the plus side we had the kind of snow flurries that I like - pretty-ish and no accumulation. Here's a picture of December 7 last year:
And here is one from today:
I think I'll just spend some time meditating on that second picture until the blahs go away. That will work, won't it?
Great posts, Bug. I hope your focus on today's weather will spread to us.
ReplyDeleteI do love that landscape in the second shot! Hope your blahs pass, but sometimes blahs are great fuel for artistry, right?
ReplyDeleteI think there's a term for what you've got--the desire to cocoon.
ReplyDeleteanything is worth a try - hope you feel less blah later x
ReplyDeleteI pretty landscape is always a pick-me-up, for me at least. Hope it works for you, too. :)

I like the comparison photo!
ReplyDeleteNow...the sun is shining today and I cannot TELL YOU HOW NEEDED it is!!!
:)
Hope your blues have faded. 'Tis the season, I'm afraid. That landscape is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it called? SAD? Seasonal Affective Disorder. (I had to Google it.) I'd say a trip to, oh, say the Cayman Islands out to fix you right up.
ReplyDeleteThat is to say, "ought" to fix you right up.
ReplyDeleteThat second photo cheered me up too, I think it's a kind of hibernation fatigue this time of year, be nice to go to sleep until Spring:)
ReplyDeleteNormally only lasts 3 days for me, though husband and children have to take shelter. And I had two sherries tonight, because it's what you do at Christmastime!
ReplyDeleteI like the snowy photo myself, but only if it's in your backyard and not mine. I think I'm still suffering the snowtigue from last winter.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your next Poem in a Shop. Does the aisle you were shopping in have anything to do with the way you feel today? Sigh.
