So Far, So Good!!

We are now well into January, and I am so pleased to report that I have NOT descended into the depths of depression, insomnia and aggravation!! I am attributing this largely to my daily use of the "LitePod," which I began using back in November. We have also had an unusually cold and sunny December. I am convinced that the sun helps me tremendously.

This is my fourth winter here in Wales, and every year so far, winter has been a dark and dismal time for me. So...hooray for the artificial sunlight! I will take it in whatever form I can get it. Still no snow, but maybe we will get some??

Instead, here is a lovely winter poem by Nikki Giovanni for you from the English teacher. It is aptly entitled "Winter Poem."

Winter Poem

once a snowflake fell

on my brow and i loved

it so much and i kissed

it and was happy and called its cousins

and brothers and a web

of snow engulfed me then

i reached to love them all

and i squeezed them and they became

a perfect spring rain and i stood perfectly

still and was a flower
