Ready for Summer Anyone?

I have been totally depressed lately. Okay, yes I can not believe I am actually admitting it. Most of my depression has come from just every day life stuff. I know I should be thankful for my blessings but sometimes I just get in a rut. I'm not one to feel sorry for myself, but darn it I just have not be able to get out of the blahh. This morning I was working out at the YMCA doing the usually routine. I finished my strength training around 6:00 a.m. and was going to workout on the StairMaster (building up strength in my legs for the Pikes Peak Ascent Race). I went to grab my ipod out of my jacket and my friend Debi said, "oh, are you going to go outside"? I was not planning on it but when she said that I looked outside and it was light out and the weather has been great, so I said great idea. I decided to drive back towards my house and park my car where there is a set of stairs. Amazing enough there are stairs right off of Austin Bluffs. There are not very many of them but they are steep. Well, I lasted about 13 minutes, but it was amazing. I was actually breathing fresh air. It was peaceful and just wonderful. No stinky, sweaty people running beside me-lol (hey, no offense my awesome workout buddies, especially Becki), no distractions, no televisions, just me and the outdoors. Then it hit me, I have the winter blues!! Anyone else ready for Summer? Anyone, anyone?

Definitely ready! These long winter days have given me the winter blues too. You aren't alone! The past few days and the green poking through everything have been like a balm! I love it! One month one week until school is out...I'm ready!

Hang in there! Spring really is coming. Fresh air does wonders for the soul. I just realized that we have the same blog background. I love it...it is so cute! Good taste! Call whenever you want to talk or just get away. You are an awesome woman, and a wonderful mom. Not to mention, a great friend.
