Doldrums, we are in the middle of rainy doldrums, and the sad part is we really need the rain, and yet I complain... So I post a photo of the winter sun at Damen Point.
I don't know if this makes me feel better (we, too, are in the rainy doldrums) or worse (we are too far from the sea and the energizing lift that comes from just watching the waves and breathing in the salt air). But I love the photo either way :)
Thank you Suzanne, Rhonda, Nick and Robin. You know as soon as I complain about my boring life, weather whatever, I live to regret it. And thanks for the book recommendation Nick, I will add it to my ever growing list of must reads!
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

The sun is vital and I understand the doldrums without it. Still - just the thing I want to see - the sea! Am too far from it.

Cafe open for business. Nice shot!!
Doldrums are a valuable part of life - check out Bertrand Russell's "The Conquest of Happiness"
The weather has been AWFUL. I can't believe how cold and gray it is. I am so ready for spring, warm temps and some days of sunlight. Nice sea pic.

Just seeing the sun in your photo at the ocean is almost like having the sun break through the clouds for a few moments. Thanks!
