Winter Blahs

Winter -- bleak, stark, and white. At least this winter was a white one. I found myself shoveling more snow than I have in all winters combined (even those in Minnesota). Winter isn’t a good time for me, I believe I was a bear in a previous life, hibernation sets in and I am ill-equipped to produce more than guttural noises at the approach of friends and neighbors. I am cold and unhappy, there is no sun to boost my mood and it shows (outwardly as well as inwardly).This weekend has produced temperatures into the 50’s (which for Pittsburgh is shorts weather) and an abundance of sunshine. My mood is improving exponentially with the coming of spring.
