Reply #8: Thanks, but sometimes a brief period of sadness is good.....

[Rowdyboy]

I need to be reminded occasionally because, in general, I'm very blessed and happy. In the meantime, I still find myself strongly excited about crisp mornings in early spring, Indian summer in late fall, and freezing winter nights when wearing long-johns, eating soup, and snuggling is not just allowable, its mandatory.

A little sad in early September is a good reminder of how rich life has been to me during the rest of the year.

After the election, early November is gonna be a "special" time of year for me-at least for awhile...
