The Longest Journey Begins With The First Step.........

It's a wet windy Saturday for this the thirteenth day of January and the winter blues are beginning to get to me a bit. I think that the lack of sunshine for any lengthy period of time has this effect on everybody, some more than others, but it would seem that the people who get really depressed don't mind sharing their depressed state with all and sundry which sort of escalates the whole thing. What we really need at this time of year is a bit of national success in the sporting arena, no on second thoughts waiting for an English team to cheer us up on the cricket, rugby or football pitch is just going to make things worse. It's not as if you could look to television to lighten the mood what with East enders, Big Brother, reruns of countless old programmes, or endless shows about people doing up houses, moving abroad, or combinations of the same. Well I've done my best to pass on my winter blues to anyone daft enough to read this and I can see why people moan about feeling depressed because for a minute there I was beginning to feel a bit better. I suppose this just illustrates that what we really need to lift our spirits at this time of year is the company of others, whether depressed or not.

My human contact today was, you guessed it minimal and my deed was to assist with the shopping. My thoughts today were nothing much to write about but I felt better for doing so.
