Outside Looking In

I've been in a funk.

Heavy-hearted.

Down-spirited.

It's not been constant, but it sneaks up on me. And makes me sad. I don't like being sad. So instead I dwell on the happy times. The peaceful times.

In the pool with the cutest kid I know:



Dancing in the car:



Snuggling on the couch with a tired baby:



Quiet evenings on the porch watching fireflies. A good book and a glass of wine. An ice cold beer on a hot summer night.

Those are the times that make me smile.
