Make it stop...

I'm completely solar powered so this weather is really dragging me down.
Sinking slowly into madness, ha, ha, ha!
Well, not really but close.
Even the dogs are going stir crazy.
Just have to hang on until Monday, when it's supposed to be 70 degrees, forgot that warm feeling.

A lot of shooting at the Range did make me feel pretty good.  I'm hoping to improve my scores next Monday, bad weather canceled this week's league.

Flowers are starting to pop out on the trails, this should be a really pretty spring.  In the meantime, these photos from my garden in Minnesota.

Well, that makes me feel much better, how about you?
I can't believe how much my mood is dictated by the weather.
Or how much my mood is dictated by others.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
A little of both I think.
Of course, my mood wears off on others too.
I especially love spreading a huge smile around on a gloomy day.
And sharing thoughts here and in emails and on the phone.
But, this is essentially a lonely life, good, but lonely.
I'm always looking forward to what tomorrow brings.
Some days it's worry, sadness, grief, loss, that sense of missing someone so much it's hard to catch my breath.
Some days it's sunlight, smiles, laughter, loving, knowing the sweetness of a special person, anticipating that first kiss, savoring the last.
It's all good, better to feel hard than not at all.
I want to be right in the middle of it.

Peace
