Springtime Blues?

This is usually a time of year that I love. Spring is full of new beginnings and of course there is Spring Break for vacation and the air is warming. People are looking forward to getting out and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Somehow this year feels different. With so much going on in the world it’s hard to pinpoint just why. I mean after all we have spent the last two years in a global pandemic which hasn’t completely disappeared.There is a history making, world changing war going on in Ukraine and let’s not forget about climate change because anybody who tells me all of this crazy weather is a fluke has to be insane. Oh and of course we are dealing with the terrible inflation (not being sarcastic here, these pricing increases are serious business).

Needless to say, I sound and feel like I am in a funk. I realize it doesn’t help me to wallow too long and I know it won’t last forever. and I guess this is my way of telling myself that it is OK to be in a funk. it is OK to not be happy with everything going on around us. And it is okay to seek a way out of this funk when ready. it is all about processing.

Happy writing this week!
