With it getting dark at 5 pm, the lack of sunlight is hitting me like a ton of bricks this year, for some reason. This must be a bad case of the winter blues…a sickness that plagues many. Yet, this is the first time this illness has made its way to my body, and I don’t like it one bit. It’s weird for me, as the winter blues can seem like a mild depression. However, I don’t really feel depressed. I just feel unmotivated. Unmotivated to do much else besides sit and watch the boob tube and go to bed early.
This lack of motivation is starting to bother me quite a bit. The weather this year isn’t really helping much either. Last year, we had a decent winter with snow that stuck around for a bit for us to enjoy and play in, but it did end a bit early. This year, it took some time for winter to arrive or at least snow. However, so far, after a decent snowfall, it’s been warming up pretty quickly, turning to rain, and melting into a nasty slushy mess. It’s not very fun, not enough for snowshoeing, and you need to really try and catch a good snow day for sledding.
It’s curious that you comment about your lack of motivation coz exactly the same is happening here to me, been indoors the whole of january, been unable to take the camera and visit my beloved highlands.
Hope we will get our energy back soon!
All the best!

We’ll get over these winter blahs soon. Motivation will return, and we will find ourselves taking way more photos than we should, just like usual very soon. Keep your head up, Joan.
I think your writing has returned. Great rundown
For getting rid of the blues and staying positive. Just
Think! Only 6 more weeks of Winter!😊
Thanks Frank. I’m kind of ready for this winter weather to break, and get back out hiking and camping.
