If you don't have anything nice to say..............

 How many times have I been told or used the expression"if you don't have anything nice to say ,don't say anything at all!"?

I can only guess too many times to count.

It's just one of life's golden rules in my book,often easier to preach than practice.

As you can surmise by my lack of communication ,( I haven't written in over a week), I have not been in the mood to say nice things lately.

Not that I have a lot of un-nice things to say either.

I just find myself self at an energetic loss to conjure up any really positive thoughts to share with anyone.

It's been a rough couple of days when it comes to being enthusiastic about life.

The last time I wrote was 8 days ago.

The next day,was dark, dank and rainy and I spent almost 8 hours driving around Bergen County making deliveries by myself.

Not exactly a "woo hoo this is loads of fun" kind of day.

By 10:30 in the morning my sweatshirt was damp and that never changed until I did when I stopped by the house at 4 before continuing on my not so merry way.The newly donned dry hoodie was a great relief. It probably would have helped if I had changed my squishy soaking wet shoes and socks as well.

It was just one of those days.

While the weather may have changed dramatically by the next day, things in my world didn't respond accordingly.

What ever malaise had set in on Sunday, seemed to hover around me all week long.

Hence, nothing nice to say.

Further hence,no writing.

While I can't say that sunrise today brought about any sort of significant change in my atmosphere, I did feel it was high time for me to find a way to rise above all of this and reach out.

The Sun is shining as it has been most of the week. The weather is unseasonably warm allowing for some outdoor activities.including taking Susan to lunch today.

Those are some nice things to share with you.

I just had a possibly aha moment.

I last wrote the day before we changed the clocks back.

Since then, evening has crept in around 4 pm and nightfall has been upon us shortly there after.

Darkness!

Ya think that might have something to do with it?

Not sure, but I'll give it some thought.

Until I figure it out....have a nice day!

Shavua Tov!
