I want to tell you that I have had some bright thoughts lately. I had two this morning at 6 am that I planned to retain long enough to write them here on my blog.It didn't happen. This is the slump between Christmas and New Year's. Christmas decorations seem as out of place as if it were the middle of August. Same with Christmas music. And I must say that almost goes for Christmas candy too. Maybe I'm anxious to get on with just the plain old winter season. The landscape is beautiful but making it through the cold season is kind of like running a marathon. The finish line is in sight...just keep on trucking.
