Musings on art, life and creatively coping with it all
It may not be the most dramatic sunrise, but what it means is PURE JOY - it's barely 7am and the sun is UP!! The long winter nights are shortening, the days are lengthening, the gloom is passing, spring is coming, the sap is rising, the birds are singing, the SADness is lifting...

I suffered a serious stroke over 10 years ago (aged 43 at the time) and it's been a slow, often frustrating, recovery... I lost my speech and was totally paralyzed on my right side, but with patience and regular physiotherapy, I can now speak, walk short distances, operate the computer, but my right side is still paralyzed. I get botox injections 3 times a year in my right bicep and forearm, which relaxes the high-tone muscles and makes it easier to stand and walk. Last year I started weekly sessions of hydrotherapy, where I build up the wasted muscles by exercising while supported by the warm water. It's bliss at the time, but I ache like heck next day - but it's so worth it :)

I second THAT emotion! And the sun goes down later... which leaves me with a bit more energy at the end of the day. I am not a winter person either, unless I actually have skis on my feet, or I'm inside a building with skis outdoors and a cup of hot chocolate in my hand.
Although, I still think the idea of actually being snowed in is romantic.
