It must be the February blahs! Blah is a feeling of nothing, of depression, of just a low, dull mood. February is the last month of our winter, more or less. We will have snow and cold in March too but by then it seems easier to take since April is right around the corner. Well, ok, we get snow and cold sometimes in April too but it's easier to take since May is just around the corner.
I guess you can see how it goes! We might as well enjoy each season as it is instead of wishing it away to get to the next one.
Winter can have it's beauty. The other night as I was digging out from a 20 hour snowfall, I noticed how bright the evening was. The snow, which was on the trees, the cars, the walls of the house and every surface it could cling to after being windblown as it fell, reflected any available light making the outside seemingly as bright as day even at 10 PM at night on a very grey, overcast evening. There was no moon and no other source of light except the streetlights and the city lights but it was so bright and so unusual. Even winter can have some beauty aside from the falling white snow.
