Mood......

My moods, like everyone else's, go up and down and some days are better than others. Most days are just pretty "average" and a few are really "down" and a few more are really "up". I would consider myself mostly "happy".....but as I used to tell my kids when they were growing up, "If you don't have bad days you'll never appreciate the good days."

2020 and now into 2021 has been a mood challenger for sure.....for our world. I know I'm fortunate to be living where I do, have enough food on the table, have my friends and family staying healthy.....bored maybe, but healthy. Still....there are days when the sun is bright and the sky is blue and Lake Michigan is sparkling that are really good days. I can feel my insides "lighten" on days like that....especially if it's really cold and we don't want to go outside but can enjoy the beauty through the window. If we do get out for a walk its even more of an "upper" when I feel that sunshine on my face.

And then there was Sunday....all day Sunday. The sky was an unrelenting, monochromatic grey all day. Mostly what I felt like doing was taking a nap.

Monday (today) dawned and I had to leave the condo about 9:00 to head into Milwaukee for an appointment and run a few errands on the way home. I drove out of our parking garage, turned the corner and I think I saw the sun.

OK.....appointment, errands and then a nap.
