have been feeling stressed for the last few days… wasn’t until Facebook reminded me this morning that it has been five years and eight months since my beloved left me that I put two and two together…

had the worst sleep – or lack thereof – last night… was anxious and couldn’t settle down…

now that I know what the stressor is likely I can settle down… that’s what usually happens anyway…

finally had a hot tub this morning… been having some issues with the temperature dropping so plan to have someone out to give it a look… but this morning it was at just the correct temp…

had to climb through the snow to get there, lol…

at one point during the day the sun came out and shone brightly in the garden and I got this pic…

sun and shadow are so beautiful…

later on the sunset was lovely…

hoping for a better night’s sleep…
