I won't make it through winter.....

 I'm cold already.. And it's not the cool weather I'm talking about.  Each winter finds me a little more depressed.  This year it's starting early.  I usually love the fall but for some reason this year the thrill of the fall season eludes me.   It used to be a time of hunting, fishing, camping fall festivals, fairs and such.  All of that is missing this year.. With everything shut down I guess my mind and body just shut down too.  Oh I still go out but for some reason my heart just isn't in it.  

    Mostly I blame it on my state of mind.  I'm so very tired of all of the hate in the world today.  All of the bickering and such.  Not wanting to talk to anyone for fear of starting an argument over any number of subjects from politics to what type of car to buy.  People will argue about anything these days. The world is a metronome.  A 'tic' or a 'toc' with no 'tweeners'  an Oreo with no middle ..You get the picture.

    I used to look forward to talking to people. Now I find myself shying away simply to avoid confrontation.  And I was so proud of myself for finally opening up a bit.  The internet was a big help in that respect but now it has turned into a hotbed of keyboard warriors intent on stirring the pot for no other reason than to simply see what kind of reaction they can get.  

    I had a you Tube friend visit me at camp this weekend and it was a truly pleasant time.  Having never met before we had no preconceived notions about each other so we were able to to discuss many topics. And although we didn't agree on some  we had enough respect for each other to be civil. (besides he was far from home and needed a place to sleep lol)   That proved one of my theories .. Face to face most people aren't as much of an asshole as they would be online.  We need to put the computers away and build more back porches.  I believe that would solve a lot of the worlds problems.

    So if that wasn't enough to depress you.   I'll work on another whinny, crying my heart out post for later in the week  I know the three or four people that read this blog are sick and tired of hearing this crap but please be kind.  I need to cleanse my mind now and them and this is where I go to do it.  As you read my post just insert yada yada yada now and them and you can skip most of the dialog.  I'll feel better and you won't miss a thing..      Project for the week..  Be kind to one another !
