It seems that every year around this time, I get the winter blah's.  I have worn all the clothes in my closet that I looked at over summer and said, "I can't wait to wear that sweater", I have had my fill of hot chocolate, smelled enough fires burning in the evenings, and seen enough snow to hold me over for another 10 years.  Saturday it snowed dippin' dots, Sunday it was cold, I don't remember Monday, but Tuesday it rained and rained and rained.  Today I woke up to the dreary fog that reminds me of the setting of "Twilight".  Then all the sudden...just about 1:00pm...as Kim Anne and I were heading out to pick up a yummy sandwich for lunch (Moore Street Market, by the way)... sun, glorious sun, a warmth and beauty, instant happiness and excitement.  It lifted my spirits, it picked up the corners of my mouth, it cause a little skip in my step, it made me happy.

It gave me hope!

Well, off to find my boots and overcoat and head out to the store to pick up soup and grilled cheese for dinner.  Maybe I will even get another box of hot chocolate!
