Hello Everyone! Our Sun went down for about a week and a half and I couldn't send or receive off-site mail. I think it should be o.k. now. My mailpath should be susans@cfi.com. My new years was great! I went skiing for the first time in about 11 years. My new beau took me to Killington--his personal obsession--and I strapped on the old boards and much to both our suprise, I remember how to ski! New Years eve we went to a meeting and then to a dance--a contra dance where no alcohol is allowed. At midnight we sang Auld Lang Syne and some other songs I've never heard before. All in all, very mellow and nice. This talk about the winter blues--well, I have one little thing to say. Live each day. Don't try to live out the winter. Just wake up, ask for help, and see what happens! Today it is supposed to be in the 50 degree range here in Boston. How can I have winter doldrums with spring temps? If I allow myself, EASILY! My emotional state doesn't often make sense. I choose today to accept what comes, weatherwise, without a fuss. After all, it is Wednesday, I have to work for 8 hours regardless, and then I have some nice things planned for the evening. I try to stay grateful in the really cold weather that I have a roof over my head. Think of those folks who are living in dumpsters and alleys. We have computer access--I assume we all have coats and shoes and food. Ask for help, ask for help, ask for help! And keep dreaming of May flowers if it helps! Carpe diem Tom M! And thanks for looking out for me. (You too Andrea!) -- Susan S. (susans@cfi.com) Another Friend of Bill's
