the only blue is the sky above cause we’re covered in sunshine here and here Who leaves those big footprints? I wish I could walk on water. I should go to the island soon. I was thinking I missed the beach and the sunshine so I went to the urban beach, sat in a muskoka chair and felt the sun on my face. I kicked around some snow, found the sand below and even only if for a minute, I was reminded of summer. Did you know there’s actually a formula for ‘why’ today is the ‘ most depressing day of the year‘. Crazy talk. I always thought it was some time in February but maybe that’s high suicide day or something. According to a press release by a mental health charity, the formula is: where weather=W, debt=d, time since Christmas=T, time since failing our new year’s resolutions=Q, low motivational levels=M and the feeling of a need to take action=Na. ‘D’ is not defined in the release, nor are units. DON’T LET THE WINTER GET YOU DOWN EH! Have fun with it. Go exploring But dress warm. Nobody likes a whiner. You never know what you might find.  Hopefully it’s beauty in something 🙂 Hey, Red row boat your cuzzy Red Canoe is my neighbour. You look chilly sitting there. Read this nice article in the Toronto Star that is part of an essay called Lessons Travel Has Taught Me by Arthur Frommer. Thought it was worth sharing with you.

The contemporary California setting proved to be a perfect atmosphere to showcase the natural chemistry of the young, intriguing couple.

You can hardly see the island, the snow has frosted over my entire view. Even if I had a car, I wouldn’t use it today. There’s lots of sirens I hear out there and it appears the cars are moving slower than usual. I have two perfectly good feet who enjoy waking but I doubt they grace a snowy sidewalk before sunset, if at all. I’d like a coffee, but the kitchen seems so far away from my bed. I plan to spend the day here in hopes of kicking these sick and tired feelings. I can’t operate like this, I can’t operate on slow speed. Mum rung me this morning from Bahamas, its like she knew I was missing her. I miss warm and sunshine too. Always the best advice she has “you need rest”.  She’s right. Thanks Mum ♥
