Altair - I "am" somewhere snowy and gloomy and we I think are at similar stages in so very many ways. Being around people and having to force yourself out of your nest is both difficult but also good for us. I too am feeling blue, trapped and stuck.

I also am very good at what I do professionally and derive a certain level of satisfaction out of it. One difference is that the hours and hours of driving, the long hours, holding myself back from more creative outlets were in a large part to provide for my family. Now they're all gone and it's just me and the cats. I haven't seen D24 since November 2015. Spending time with my family doing "stuff" was always the shine that made it all worthwhile.

One thing that I decided to do at the outset and I believe that W has as well is to find one piece of joy in my day. Today I had a nice breakfast that I made, the roses on my desk and bedside table are opening nicely and I gave one of the cats a nice belly rub. Right now I'm looking out of my home office window and seeing a pretty snowfall knowing that I am safe and secure in my home writing to a good friend and trying to cheer her up. What joy have you found today?

When a star passes through a dust cloud it's shine is dimmed. But it picks up stray elements and can shine all the brighter.

But a story is never for the listener. It is always for the one who tells
