Every
year near the end of February and all of March, I struggle with the winter
blues, aka depression. I can have an
amazing trip planned, be busy planning a graduation, or painting a new
room. It doesn’t really matter. I get depressed. Last year I put in my daily planner that I
should do some fake and bake, salon sun tanning. I can’t bring myself to do this though because
of the expense in both time and money.
So yesterday, I decided to go for a bit of an adventure. Okay, I drove to the local lake here in town
and took some pictures to show you that even the weather is depressing.
Mount
Helena sitting sentinel dreams of the warm days of spring when the residents of
the area clamor along its paths.
A tree
sits in the gloomy cloud covered day with dead grass protecting its roots. 
A bird
next hangs from the branch impatiently waiting for its vacationing owners to
return from the south.
The colors
of our days, though gloomy, do have an artistic feel to them.
The
rough edges of the bark portray the roughness of winter.
I felt
much better after my little drive to the lake and hike. Today I anticipate another gloomy day. My project will be to go through old photos
and do some editing. I hope to bundle up
and take a walk around my daughter’s school.
I won’t take my camera. But I
will talk with God and try to encourage him to bring spring a little quicker.
Blessings
to you all.
