This week's focus: looking up!

“This is my ‘depressed stance.’  When you’re depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand.  The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you’ll start to feel better.  If you’re going to get any joy out of being depressed, you’ve got to stand like this.”

~Charlie Brown

Lately, I’ve been looking up again — both literally and metaphorically.  Maybe the physical act of lifting one’s face to the sun, basking in its sweet golden warmth over and over again, inspires the mood to lift in concert.  In any case, I could not resist the urge to look at the millions of new baby leaves, each one unfurling its bright fabric rapidly, as eager soak up the spring rays as me.
