Odd feeling

[mdlbear]

After reading a wonderfully cheering email from cflute just before noon, I went out for a walk. I found myself walking considerably faster than I have for weeks -- maybe months. At one point, walking down the back hill to the pond, I realized that I was feeling both cheerful and optimistic. It was unfamiliar, and very heady.

I can see how one could get addicted to that combination. The trick for me will be making it more addictive -- and more accessible -- than depression, which has been my drug of choice for decades.
