I haven't gone anywhere this year and I've been okay despite the bitter cold we've had, but I'm pretty much ready for spring. I need to grow things and wear tank tops and sandals again. I also have one of those lamps that you can use for a few minutes every day to help with the winter blues. I also know people who seem to benefit from taking an actual antidepressant in the winter months.<br /><br />Congrats on your poetry request! Have a wonderful weekend! :)Denise D.

Not words conducive to the muse. So what keeps me going during these weeks of simply nasty weather? Sometimes I stumble over a quote that keeps me motivated. ("Art thou not drowned . . ."). Lovely. Writing. Yes. Row80 reporting in and evaluating my progress. Yes. This week you have a lot going on (memorizing Shakespeare!), and yet, someone out there wanted a poem. Your poem. Celebrate. Cherish the moment. Persevere. That snow will melt.Beth Camphttp://bethcamp2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
