Fight it! Fight it hard, like you really mean it! Don't let it drag you down into a cycle of depression. It's winter, which makes it harder to be positive because it's cold & dark. So try hard to get some sunshine on you every day, and keep physically active. Keep those endorphins hopping around. If you can't ride right now, do something else to raise that heart rate & get the blood pumping.

Go ahead & curl up under the blanket with a hot tea or cocoa. But don't do it if you are feeling sorry for yourself, do it after you've worked hard at something to reward yourself. And pick up a book, keep the mind active, too.

Every single person who posts on this forum is a fighter. We wouldn't go out & ride day after day in all kinds of conditions if we weren't (either that or we're all insane!). So now it's your turn, & fight 'em good! Write whenever you want us to listen. But be warned -- we just might write back!

Hugs & butterflies to you,
and thanks for sharing your photos, they are so beautiful...I will be checking back to see more of them.
