Winter Blahs

     It's been a long time since I made the time to post here. I never know if anyone reads these, and that's o.k. (Though it would be nice to think someone might find the words I type entertaining/comforting/funny)

     I used to blog for me, so I could look back at the things I wrote, kind of like post-its on the calendar that is my life.

Life got in the way.

The last few months have been a little rough. Not huge-crisis type stuff, but, more like a bunch of little things all rolled up into a big ball that keeps trying to knock me over. 

Winter rolled in in October. Makes for a very long season. At this point, I am of the opinion that snow is only pretty on a Christmas card.

There's been some health related stuff for me ( nothing life threatening and it is mostly resolved now) has really taken the wind out of my sails.

I haven't been running. I am getting back on track there, but, it's a slow road.

I really could use a vacation, and listening to everyone talk about their sun & fun filled trips is killing me a little. ( Oh jealousy, that nasty b*tch!)


So what now?

Well, I have a few choices.

1. I can wallow. Feel sorry for myself and let these winter blahs drag me down.

2. I can stop talking to people.

3. I can suck it up.


So seeing as we still have a good chunk of winter in front of us, I had better suck it up.

I have a treadmill now, so, no more letting the snow stop me from logging my miles.

While I am horribly jealous of those that get to escape winter for a short & sunny time, I am happy for them. They deserve R&R just as much as anybody, and I am glad for them that they got the chance to get away.

Before I know it, it will be Spring. The roads will be clear, and I'll be complaining about the bugs while I'm out pounding the pavement.
