Like the squirrel stocks up on food to see him through the hard winter. I have been storing affirmations in my heart for the dark days ahead. In the winter months I am susceptible to seasonal depression. I’m gathering up laughter and saving up smiles now while I‘m feeling good. Autumn gives me a sense of anticipation. I’m looking forward to my favorite things. So when the glum comes lurking on gloomy days, I’ll be ready. LGR©10/18/17 |

FANtastic write, Lori. That would be a wonderful thing to do. To be able to conjure up your saved happiness for gloomy days is a wondrous thing. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

I admire your awareness, Lori Rhoden. With such wisdom, you won't fail to weather the season. What the squirrel does, he (or she) does by instinct...we have to put a little thought into it. As a growing boy in an urban neighborhood, for example, I learned it was a lot safer to walk to school wearing an 'athletic cup'. Like the squirrel, I wanted to save mine too. Hmm. ...just bein' Bluesy |

You have the right idea Lori. Gotta get me some of that for the hump day blues.  |

Blues, I had a grumpy hump day myself. Kids were really on my nerves! But I did not lose my cool.  |
