Some of this you just wish the media would keep to itself. 
 
There is apparently some scientist with a catchbag of indicators  calculating 
the misery index of those confortable enough to be  depressed about failed 
New Year's resolutions and personal debt, as  opposed to just trying to keep 
alive. Besides, my observations lead  me to think many folks are more blue in the 
weeks before  Christmas. Certainly that is when the pathological behavior 
appears to  come slithering out from under the rocks.
 
I don't feel depressed today, I feel fine, (cue James Brown) and I  think you 
should feel free to feel entirely excellent, too!  We  are right cold here, 
and more on the way, and that is worrisome, but  there are already signs of 
spring in the hardiest plants, and seed catalogs  are here.  
 
<<After 10+ yrs of pollen daubing, I would feel more peppy if I  had 
<something> I felt was really worth introducing!  That  thought has me 
looking over seedlings that should bloom next year, plus  some hatching 
now, and there <are> some possibilities  ....


You are a pathfinder, as was Lloyd, and like Lloyd, it is  going to take you 
a while. People talk about hybridizing goals, and I  suppose there has to be 
some target to shoot at, or what's a Heaven for, but  I do hope you will also 
think in terms of an ongoing creative process, a  constant state of Becoming as 
I have said before, and not be frustrated  by elusive goals. 
 
It is wonderful to hear that you see some  possibilites emerging. So long as 
you have a seed to plant, there is  always a possibility. 
 
As Rosalie would say: rah rah rah.
