Seasonal Issues

There are days when my thinking slides into reality like slipping on black ice. Listing the positive and negatives of life for review is a good thing to do. It forces me to yank out good things that I’d rather brush off as a fluke, not really meant to be.

But they are. 

We are all meant to experience good. 

Dwelling on the bad times is not good. 

Feeling that life has too much negativity is normal. 

Having it be the truth is a problem. 

What to do about it varies. I'm sure talking to a trusted love one, friend or therapist is positive start. Then comes the work we have to put into ourselves.

Presently, this time of the year putting away summer and bringing out winter things can be a mess of indecision, clutter rising, and let's go outside to look at the leaves instead of box up this crap. Everywhere I look there are small areas of stuff needing attention. The pressure to get it all done makes me want to go out to buy potato chips. 

Anyway, I won't buy them. I'll buy a candy bar* instead.

Day 290 if Week 42 October 2025


What a week of chilly this has been. Leaf peeper season is on the down side of peak for some areas in the lower elevations.

The no kings refers to America’s freedom to  not be ruled by a monarch. It is a protest of the authoritarian rule taking over American’s government. The brazen erosion of democracy in America must be addressed. 

The No Kings protest is Americans exercising their US Constitutional rights as stated in the First Amendment.  

No Kings Protest is Americans lawfully and peacefully being Americans. 

Have a No Kings Weekend!
God Bless America

Brrr Season

 Cold weather is here!

After I wear a jacket two days in a row, it is officially winter to me. That is my signal to put a shovel and my collection of ice scrapers in the vehicle trunk. With deicer and gloves by the front door, and boots where I can find them, I feel blizzard ready. 

What about the negative attitude towards winter? Where does that go to help me through the season? 

Turn those not good feelings into thinking of winter as the season of I love soup, hot toddies, hot chocolate and Oh! How pretty !

Remember this stuff?
