Optimistic & Uplifted.

Oh you guys, I am so happy January is over, done, fin and we won't have to greet it again for another year.  I know winter is still here, but we are one month closer to spring and that makes me feel more optimistic & uplifted, because to be honest, January was giving me the killer blues.  Yech.  Apparently, January was also giving our friends the blues too, because they called on Friday and asked if we would like to pack up and head to the beach for an impromptu camping trip, and we heartily agreed.  

It felt so good to have sandy feet, and hike around with the dogs - Mable & Greg - watching them leap and chase birds.  Also, to sleep under the stars and hear Mable growl at lingering raccoons.... fun stuff!  I heartily recommend the beach as the cure for anything, but especially the January blues.  Go, if you can and sleep under the stars.
