My mind and emotions are in the process of recharging.
Keeping a low profile is the best I can do right now.
Enthusiasm and energy have temporarily fallen to the wayside,
and as a result I'm finding motivation harder to come by.
Daydreams, however, those are plentiful!
“For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.”
~William Wordsworth
Tomorrow, on WW you will find a guest post from Cody!

ReplyDeleteYour photo is so pretty with the snow on the leaf - it looks so peaceful. :) I had to learn that WW poem in 6th grade, and remember it to this day!
ReplyDeleteHey there! Lovely photo! Still would love to get together when you head over our way. Weekends are best (and most Saturdays I'm free all day), seeing that I teach. :) Give me a holler when you nail down a date, doesn't matter if it's only the day before, I'm fexible!:)
ReplyDeleteHugs!

BEAUTIFUL! Love the photo . . . and William always has the nicest turn of phrase.
ReplyDeleteI think to some point we all feel like this, at this time of the year. We just need to recharge ourselves for the coming Spring!
This is exactly how I feel at the moment ... melancholy. I don't know maybe the WINTER BLUES...but to read this, it is really a reminder of how I feel at the moment. You always have GREAT photography !! keep up the great work !. I'm in this boat ... I am waiting for WINTER to be DONE.
