Aftermath

I've been feeling a bit blue for a couple of months. Nothing concerning, just a general lack of energy and inspiration. I long for some nice weather. Each year I am reenergized by the arrival of Spring.

I'm done with this long, miserable winter that just doesn't seem to want to end.

While The Swede was ill, I knew that when things began to return to normal, I would crash. As his health started to improve last November, his mom passed away. Also in November, my dad had a serious, life-threatening health problem from which he is still recovering. It's been a long, slow process and, although he continues with therapy, he will probably never regain all of his strength.

Then Zoe died.

It's been almost two full years since our lives have been normal. But they're getting there...back to normal. I guess this is the crash I knew would come.

I can't wait for Spring.

Looking at it like it's the beginning is sure to help...

Hang in there. It's just around the corner.

This time of year is hard for me...many times without reason.

You have all the reason in the world to be tired. I am praying that soon, and very soon, the new life that spring offers will be a new life for you and your family. A new life with rebirth, new growth, new hope, and an abundance of happiness!
