It’s that time of year again.\u00a0 Wetness from day-after-day of rain, colder temperatures, an ugly and constant muddiness,\u00a0a consistent and persistent cloudy sky.\u00a0 In sixteen days of this past mont, I saw the sun twice.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Because\u00a0I work at home,\u00a0my two dogs have become my salvation to get outside.\u00a0 Otherwise, I would not go out at all.\u00a0 Well, besides them and having to go to the grocery store.<\/p>\n

Are you feeling that way?<\/p>\n
Not to be\u00a0inappreciable with\u00a0nature, I know\u00a0some geographic areas are lots<\/em>\u00a0worse than mine – weather-wise.\u00a0 For instance, I have lived many many years on the East Coast of the continental U.

S., the humidity was so heavy that I contracted a fungal discoloration and disorder in my skin!\u00a0 I was medically told to treat that condition with Head & Shoulders shampoo, of all things.\u00a0 Are you familiar with that?\u00a0 I had to “smurf up” every day until it disappeared.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n I need a physical ‘re-birthing’ with some sunshine.\u00a0 Spring allows me that grace.\u00a0 Summer is another story in this area of\u00a0northern\u00a0California where I reside.\u00a0 Having witnessed\u00a0day-upon-day of temperatures above 105 degrees fahrenheit (the highest I lived through was 118 degrees), I think and remember the winter cold.\u00a0 Autumn is a welcome reprieve and my favorite time of year.<\/p>\n On and on we go.\u00a0<\/p>\n How are you and your area’s weather?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s that time of year again.\u00a0 Wetness from day-after-day of rain, colder temperatures, an ugly and constant muddiness,\u00a0a consistent and persistent cloudy sky.\u00a0 In sixteen days of this past mont, I saw the sun twice.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Because\u00a0I work at home,\u00a0my two dogs … Continue reading
