gray malaise

Excuse the extended absence. The plodding procession of gray days finally took their toll. And, of course, now that the dark days are over and the sun is finally shining I can scarcely enjoy it because my spirit is so beaten and bruised. Perhaps a day in the sun will return me to a state of wonder and excitement - although what I would really rather do is curl with a book under covers. It is hard to come out of hibernation.
