the sun shines bright....

ok, so.....we all slept in past 8:00......which is as rare as hen's teeth in these parts....and the sun was shining so brightly through the bathroom window that it seemed that someone had left on both the bathroom and the hall lights......such a pleasant way to get up in the morning...i did sleep much better last evening....and dreamed of peeling clementines, a pretty neutral dream theme.....neither work nor play.....and so i am feeling refreshed and not quite as old as i felt dragging myself out of bed in the cold and dark to make it to work on time each and every day this week.....life is good.....i read a report in the BBC this week about depression around the world...about research that seems to pinpoint the most likely age for depression for both genders as 44.....square in midlife......this research seemed to also suggest that folks tended to bounce back by their early to med-fifties....as if to say that they re-evaluated their original values and dreams and replaced them with more realistic but no less valuable ones.....i find this all fascinating, in that i have struggled with depression in the past, and find myself completely undepressed at this very moment.....
