Here Comes the Sun!

DECEMBER 29, 2023 ~ LIA STORM ~ EDIT"HERE COMES THE SUN!"

It’s been cloudy and rainy for what seems like weeks this past month. That kind of weather makes it hard to get motivated. This morning I woke up, walked into the livingroom and what do you know? SUN!!! A beautiful sight to see light streaming through the window.  I started taking down some of the Christmas decorations. My little granddaughter went a bit crazy with decorating, but she was so happy and excited for Christmas that I just let her do her thing. If it was up to her it would be Christmas all year.

She even bought Christmas sheets for her bed 😊

Anyway, it is nice to see the sun today, and I am going to sit on my front porch later and soak it up and read some more of my book. But first I just wanted to say “Good Morning” to my friends here. You know you are always in my heart, even though I have been absent recently. Maybe I can do better this year.

Much love,

Lia

GOOD MORNING !

Today

 Today I sat outside on my front porch and read for an hour.  It occurred to me that I have not spent much time outside since my daughter died.  I don’t know why, I just haven’t. It was nice out today, around 60 and I had just bought some new porch chairs so I said to myself “sit your butt out here on one of these chairs and read”.  That is another thing I haven’t done much of, read. And I LOVE to read, so I don’t know why I have not read much in the last two and a half years.

You know what else I haven’t done? I haven’t written anything in forever.  I used to love to write. 

And I haven’t painted either. I took up painting a few years ago, and I loved it. But after she died, I just quit.  

I guess I’ve been depressed.  Not major depression, just that underlying depression that follows a person around, but doesn’t keep them from doing what needs to be done.

Well dammit, that is gonna stop, here and now.  I am gonna read, and go outside, and paint, and write as I watch the world go to hell in 2024!!!!

So Happy 2024 to you all (soon as it gets here).

Much love,

Lia
