Spring is finally here!

Spring is finally here in Ontario, Canada. The sun is shining and we are averaging a temp of about 20 degrees C. Which is great but I can't seem to enjoy it because I am still quite depressed and all I want to do is sleep.
I want to enjoy it, I wish I could enjoy it. I've gone for a walk but nothing, no joy has come to me and that just makes me feel so sad...well, more sad then I am.

I hope where ever you all are you are having a wonderful day and can enjoy it to it's fullest.

It is in my opinion officially spring here in the states. It is absolutely gorgeous out with a temperture of 70 and 80 degrees in the sun. Everything is finally coming to life, especially the kamakasi squirrels crazy as ever.

yeah, the squirrels are going crazy here too. What I like is seeing the flowers starting to come up. Can't wait for everything to be in bloom!

Nice post. Yes it's spring here in Boston too. I raked my whole front yard and garden beds and half of my back yard. I just love uncovering the little sprouts of plants coming up!

Can you find a hammock? A deck chair? Can you just find a place to sleep in the warm spring sun? Let the sounds and the clean air clear out your soul? Lay out a blanket on the grass. Get out and sleep in the real world, like we were meant to.

Yeah, that's the best, finding those sprouts and just knowing that soon there will be flowers there.

lol, Alphonsus, I live in an apartment but I do just go out and sit at the side of the building or sit on my balcony with a book and a drink and read or just lean against the railing and watch what's going on down between the buildings where I live.

Isn't a typical Spring day in Canada about 41 degrees (fahrenheit)???

Down here in the Windy City we're finally enjoying a 69-degree day. Of course, I spent it passed out on the couch in the basement, due to a VIOLENTLY exhausting day yesterday.

What a waste.

Yeah, you're very right, Netminder, but we're having a wonderful week this week. The temps are going down to what it's suppose to be starting on Sunday....
Sorry about your exhausting day yesterday...maybe it'll be nice for you tomorrow?

LOL, Ab, if I don't get any calls for work tomorrow the highlight of my day will be what folks up where you live follow with passion - hockey. On the ice at 11:30 a.m. with a great group of fellow old men who gather for a weekly skate year-round. There's nothing quite like the feeling of a hard skate for 90 minutes indoors, then walking out into the Spring sunshine.

you know what's fun Abnoba? I live in a condo, and put bird feeders outside my bedroom window. I have four of them. Even when I'm down, watching the birds and squirrels does bring peace. I hope you find some, and some joy.

I'm happy for the changes spring brings, but I am more of a fall/winter kind of gal, I can't wait for it to get cold again :)

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
