Being Happy, Dammit

Unofficial slogan for me these days (apparently):

It's MY life and I'm going to do what I want and be HAPPY, dammit.

I don't really why I feel suddenly freed, but I do.  I just find myself doing so many things I never felt like I could or should do. And I like it. 

Me with the Rat

Just a little burst of good cheer after that depressing previous post.

Winter

Why is life so hard in the winter?  My life is not a bad life.  I try to think positive thoughts, do fun things, keep active, but somehow everything is several times more difficult than usual, and sad. 

This is how I feel: how can I face another week?
