a few months ago i made myself a promise that i wouldn't blog unless i had something positive and uplifting to say. kind of like grandfather farmer used to say, "if you don't have something nice to say about someone don't say anything at all." i came home tonight with no intention of blogging. not in the mood is how i thought of it in my head. nothing bad has happened, no major incident. it's just a gloomy, unmotivated feeling. so when i got home, i changed into my extra warm, snuggly pajamas and sat down to start a new book, second glance by jodi picoult (loaned to me by my daughter). only 3 pages into the book, i thought surely there are others out there feeling this way tonight as well. maybe it is my mission to spread some cheer. so, here i am, heavy-hearted, bummed-out me saying winter can't last much longer. harbingers of spring are just around the corner. don't let dire economic talk get you down. feel blessed and glory in the little joys of life! all of the photos in this post were taken by me last spring and very early summer. they make me smile, bring back happy memories and renew my faith that a spirit reawakening is on the wing. enjoy my friends!!
i promise that my old light-hearted, joyous self will be here when you next visit!!

Blame it on the full moon, Julie! I feel exactly the same.
The toes are cute! :)

I am so ready for sandal weather myself! Jump a fast plane to AL. You will love the shirt sleeves only weather we've been having. Hurry, because it won't last!
ahhh, just what i needed!! love the sandals...and those sweet toes are loving their freedom! :)
Hey! I'm glad you found your "Happy Thoughts"......it helped you to fly (From Hook)
Bringing us all cheer all day long, what would we do without you? :-) Have a fantastic night, spring will be here in no time!
happy pics though.
I think a lot of us are feeling the same way after this cold and snowy winter. Like you, pictures of spring/summer always cheer me up. Thanks for sharing. (I especially love the one of the newly planted fields.) I just keep telling myself only a couple more months until we can look forward to some warmer days. :)
You are right, and thanks for sharing. We are having a terrible drought in So. Texas, but as someone pointed out recently, every day is one day closer to rain.

Julie, the photos are beautiful. and I LOVE the pear collage! LOVE LOVE LOVE it. My favorite sound is music I think, all kinds of music, from Jazz to hip hop to the sound of my own attempts to play violin. So can I be included in the giveaway???

Love the photos... It must be in the air lately.. Even across the states a sense of gloom has somewhat overtaken my usually perky self as well. YUCK on that... Thanks for your happy images, and may we all join together in happy thoughts.

I know we are a long way apart but I'm sure the seasons change as quickly where you are as they do here.
Cheer up, its nearly spring.
A wonderful post, Julie. I have actually wondered how you could be so positive all the time. I certainly don't feel happy all the time, even though it would be nice. Your photos are very very smiley!!
I love the cute feet pictures especially. I have been feeling much like you, but you put such a positive spin on it! thanks for cheering me up!
