Sometimes it feels right.

So who would have thought that a half hour long text discussion with my dad who is in Vietnam could make me feel closer to him.  I think one of the changes I mentioned in my last post about that spark being back may apply.  See, I have found a couple things that I am working on with regards to myself.  One of them involves my attitude and being more open and positive and allowing the negative to move through me and not to dwell on it.  So again, how does that apply to a text conversation?  Well it does because it feels good.  I have to admit it was really nice to chat and I think the thing was he is happy, he is enjoying himself and not just because he is working but because he was having fun and enjoys his time and the people.  So back to that notion of positive, I really love my parents, they are and have been very good parent and grand parents.  Not every thing works out and not everything happens the way I wanted it to.  Yes there are moment but it is a relationship and there are always moments.  I am sure they have a long list of moments where they wanted or may still want to strangle me but hey what are kids for.  So to my dad I am proud to say it was great to chat with you even though you are on the other side of the world and I am sitting here freezing.   It felt good to do that.  That is more to the point, it felt good.  I need more of those feelings.  As the cold and winter descended on us last week I have become slightly bored and struggling to find a way out of it.  This may strike people a little off key, but I have had a couple of Christmases where I was on the depressed side.  I get quite hung up on it.  I struggle to be creative and to find my stride.  As a bit of self admission, I tend to turn to my friend chocolate to cure these melancholy moments.  But I will see what comes along this time.  I have told myself to instead go and do something when those moments hit.  So today I was bored, I went and cleaned up the garage a bit and made dinner.  Not really feeling like working on pictures.  Hey the weather is apparently going to be warm for the next day or two so maybe for Sunday I will get out with the camera and take some photos.  Then maybe some new shots will be produced and posted.  One never knows.

Have a nice night peace and love.
