A few weeks ago we had two feet of snow on the ground & daytime high temperatures were in the single digits. The snow has melted, & tomorrow & Tuesday we're supposed to have highs near 60F. Someone recently asked me if I thought spring had arrived. I said no...I remember significant snowfalls in April in the past.

It kind of reminds me of bipolar disorder. Back in January I emerged from a long winter of depression & began feeling "normal." While I will revel in the early arrival of spring-like days, just as I revel in my improved mood, I know both are temporary reprieves. I wish things were different, but that's the hand I've been dealt. All I can do is focus on today...on the emotional warmth & sunshine. Living in the moment is key. Just for today, I will make the most of my life & accept things for what they are.
