19 January 2010 January’s a bleak month to stand out here on the sidewalk.  It’s cold.  It’s dark.  Hard to be positive, even though I try.  Ravens fly by, land on lamposts-they make me smile with their antics and their puffed feathers.  The postman, the UPS guy and the Fed Ex man all make me smile as they deliver boxes to the store.  Some of those boxes will spill spring colors out into the street, and I’ll know that soon my world will be warmer and brighter.   All you need to do is come on by the store for a good dose of spring.  It will cure the winter blues!
