I saw this picture on flicker and thought it was pretty neat. I guess we don't pay attention to the seasons that closely, we just complain of too hot-too cold. I love the middle photo because that is my favorite time of year, but we are quickly transitioning into a cooler climate. This makes me very sad because I tend to turn into somewhat of a basket case in the winter months. If you don't see me around I am guarding myself and my family from the nasty colds and flus, and being a freak about it to put it lightly.
I was out on my long run for the week (18 miles) and just feeling the clouds descending on to my mood. I just craved the sun hitting my shoulders as I pattered through the valley. That didn't happen at all, instead I had to overcome 18 miles of mental struggle. My body was feeling great although I was stuck on my couch mentally. I got through it. I am home now just trying to figure out how I can become a little more positive today. I will try to peel myself off the couch and do something productive, but I am thinking this is highly unlikely.
In other news, we will be heading to Portland this week and this is something I can smile about. Good food, good riding, and great family! I hope to relax and appreciate my former pacific northwest. Enjoy your week and hopefully I will come home with exciting stories.
