Oh, how well you put together words to describe exactly
what's got me tied up and tossed in a corner, outta ideas, bored with it all.
Ennui. That's a word than used to confuse me. I'd hear people say on-we on NPR and intuit a sense of gloom and having no ambition. We have to fight it.

Thanks for your comment on my photo today. I must tell you about it.This is a photo of a picture my son in law found at a thrift store. I liked it so much that I took a picture of it, the glow above the tower is my flash reflecting back off of the glass in the picture frame. I don't even know if it is in Utah or Arizona. This would normally not be something I would tend to show if it were not for that glow...I thought it unique. Again, thanks for your comment, and where is it?

I've had the blahs as well, and so have others here, I take it. I've actually been a bit busy, but that too hasn't helped. Maybe I'll force myself to start a series - I've got several things in mind, though it would be nice to have more than two or three readers, you being one of them, of course...

I have been very fortunate in that I have had something to say 99% of the time.

We will never be safe from guns, or war, or spoons feeding us too much, or cars driving too fast, or slippery floors, or bad doctors, or stairs too steep, we are just lucky to have made it this far in a world full of things, like knifes and baseball bats, sharp things and falling stars.

DO take care of yourself and partake in the things that help you feel better. Yes, writing just to write is not always best - you can go in circles. But don't be afraid to just let some of that stuff out :).
Hope every day finds you better than the last.

You could always post some more photos over on Flickr!
Re-posting bits from the past is also no sin. Maybe you have some favorites you'd like to share again?

Yes you are a naughty girl. There that should make you feel better. Goodness though Taps I feel the same on these wet dull mornings and everyone has started to grumble at me, well folk I know. 'What ever are you doing working out in the wet?' I have always worked through rain hail or snow in the past. A drop of rain lubricates the skin, better to have a warm shower afterwards,a bit different when one had to boil a kettle.
