Sometimes the Season of the year does make people sad. If you are hurting, or there is trouble, it is very hard to feel upbeat about anything! I don't know if it will work for you, but this is what I do. I halt all thinking at all. I take a time out and get off to myself to re-boot. I try to pick just one small thing, that brings me some joy or peace. When one thing makes me smile, it uplifts me for the rest of the day. I know it is hard to do songbird, pain and those flairs, can block out the best of intentions. Know that I care about you and your family. "snowflakes that fall on my nose and eyelashes" think about your favorite things, and then you might not feel so bad. Prayers and good vibes being sent your way. ginnie
