“Many people lose the small joys in the hope for big happiness.” – Pearl S. Buck

I gotta admit…the window between New Year and Easter kind of drags for me a little bit. Big picture: the cold, the lack of color, the shortened daylight hours…it can all just bum me out. And if I’m not careful, I can grow somewhat flat and, well, meh.

But as I was looking through some photos from my walks with Finnegan, I noticed something. Winter hasn’t stopped some silliness sightings.

Even when I couldn’t walk during daylight hours, a solitary solar powered Santa light made me smile.

I’ll continue to look forward to spring, but I’m glad to be reminded to enjoy the little gifts the current season holds and just be happy here.
