This year, I decided not to succumb to "Winter Blues" in January. I had a plan and I was going to attack January head-on. I was going to fill my calendar with an activity each day, write my goals at the top, go on "outings/dates" with Dave, meet new people, go out to lunch with friends and try a blue light each morning (for S.A.D).
Above are the Mosses---Linda and I went on a crazy Jefferson County Backroads adventure in the fall, but Jerry was really my cousin whom I wanted to meet---4th cousins on Long/Reiter/Tyrey side of the family. But, I also had lunch with an old friend Glenda who was in town and with my teacher friends "BArnwell TeacherS".
Dave and I went on outings---we saw Avatar and visited the Mo. History Museum.
I read some "fun" books---didn't make me think too much---haven't read Sarah's Key yet but it's my next Book Club selection.
I watched and fed my birds. . .
Sat under my "blue light" at breakfasts. . .
And played with Eli. Minutes after this photo was taken, I began a painful journey which resulted in an ER visit and 2 days in St. Luke's Hospital.
After 6 different tests (not counting blood work), the diagnosis was "Inflamed Duodenum", a condition that has me home-bound, bored, depressed and oh, so ready for February. . .or March. . .or April. But, until last Thursday, I think I was winning my battle of January Blues.
