The Pit of Despair.....Black Dog Days

Dark days are  here with black thoughts, dispair and tears.  I know this will pass and I'll get through this but  the feeling of being well feels very far away and I feel very alone.

Dark days and bugs that won't leave....

How I'm missing light and color almost like a physical pain. The drive into work and home is in darkness and the hedges are all empty and bare.Wet, moldy leaves adorn the trees and  a bitter cold robs even the suns rays of warmth. I've posted this image which I took in November to remind me of how beautiful, bountiful and playful out world can be.

Lay'd low this week with a bug....

Given that I've been stuck under a duvet feeling dreadful this weekend why this lovely picture taken in Naples?  Well the image and the content remind me of how lovely summer fruit smells and tastes. Something to look forward to....

First picture of the year - last G&T

Last relaxing G&T of the holiday. Work starts next week and so back to crazy hours and long days.

Here's hoping 2011 is a better year than the last.
