It happens every year about this time. I enter a phase I can only describe as the winter blues. I realize that there are some people who have been diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder. I haven’t. I love three of the four seasons – with summer being my favorite. It’s winter that brings me down. The grey skies. The cold wind. It’s enough to bring out my inner bear. Give me a cave and I’d hibernate.
I’ve considered hitting the tanning bed – and I would if I didn’t worry about wrinkles and skin cancer. Besides, it’s not a tan I want – it’s the warm weather I crave. The sunshine. The feel of the sand beneath my feet – especially after a long day at work. Spring can’t get here quick enough.

I’m familiar with the winter blues feeling. However, this year I have yet to experience it. Perhaps the fact that this year I am at liberty to walk the beach every – and I mean every- day. Two pair of socks, two pair of pants, anywhere from two to five shirts, gloves, scarf, hat and jacket with hood – I bundle up in 20 degree weather and hit the sand. That winter blues feeling has disappeared as I walk among the treasures God has lain at my feet (sea shells). Believe me, I am very grateful to be able to do this, but for me at least, I have found something to chase away those blues – they can be bad, even debilitating.

This is exactly why we have chosen to come to Lanzarote for six weeks! Weather is sadly a little mixed though!
