"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."

Winter Wonderland...

Well here it is, a beautiful February morning. The farm wears a cozy blanket of pure white. The only thing that needs to change is my attitude. Describing this scene in December brings about thoughts of the holidays and love for our friends and neighbors. However the same scene in February brings about discontent and the desire to burn my coat, scarf and the snow shovel. I'm weary from winter and feeling sun deprived. I tried the obvious alternative of a visit to the tanning bed. I basked in the artificial rays that warmed my frozen skin and I began to actually feel the beach and could almost hear the rhythm of the waves washing ashore when my ten minute bliss expired and the machine snapped off. My shrill scream "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO" pretty much guaranteed this was to be my last trip to "Bronze-R-Us".
I need to shake off the winter blah's and remember the days when the sun was my constant companion instead of a long lost friend. I'm going through my photographs finding something that will make me feel warm again. Photography has always been one of my favorite hobbies and my pictures have become some of my dearest friends. My constant companions and reminders of what a truly beautiful life I have lived. I treasure these moments forever frozen in time. Well, that's enough for now, I have a heating pad that's calling my name.
