This Is Not Good Weather For Bears!...Especially Not Wuglyees Bears!!

        I'm with you Kitty! I'm Undecided too.....not only about whether this "stuff" is worth going out in, but even more so, as to whether I want to even acknowledge that it's out there! I cannot believe that it's SNOWING AGAIN!!!!....*sigh* (Thanks to all whose photos and drawings I was allowed to use today. Links and credit to these Etsy shops and photos, which are for sale, are at the bottom of this post)
      We got 7 inches of it yesterday, by way of it snowing all day I might add. And then overnight another 3 inches...that made 10 inches!...And now, already...at 7 a.m. in the morning...it's SNOWING AGAIN!!!...*sigh again!*...They're saying we could get another accumulation of 5 to 8 inches of heavy snow and a 1/4 inch of ice on top of it before we're done!!!
     I know bears are suppose to be good in this weather...
       ...but this Wuglyees bear has HAD IT!!! Grrrr!
     My normally upbeat and positive spirit has taken an emotional beating the last few days....a "BEAT DOWN" for those who know the slang vernacular! LOL My rhythm is off! My elevator is not going all the way to the top! I am off my rocker!...and whatever other symbolism you wanna use!! LOL Oh yes! I'm still positive...but what I'm positive about is shifting!!! ^_^
     If it was just the weather maybe I'd be able to 'roll with the punches', but it seems that everything is coming at me at once! I duck....I bob...I weave! I laugh at the attacks.....Ha!...ha!...Ha! And then.....I get hit in the head, at close range, by yet another emotional snowball...and then a REAL snowball!! ^_^ 
      Oh well, it's fun to write about anyway. In fact I find the writing very comforting. It makes it seem not quite so bad! See! Positivity rears it's ugly head again!!
     But considering what some people are dealing with, weather-wise, we're really NOT having it that bad! Did you hear about the Hurricane(Cyclone) that's hitting Queensland Australia, Yasi,  right now?!!! The biggest one they've had in a century. A category 5!!!
       There's been evacuations for them again! WOW! Rain and floods and now a Cyclone??!! What must they be thinking these days?!...To all those who are hunkered down, waiting for it to hit, who may be scared and feeling like they're all alone, I'm sending good thoughts. :-/
       And to all those in the worse parts of the country here in the U.S., who are experiencing blustery winds, heavy amounts of snow, cold, and ice....you are in my thoughts today too!
      I have some other things on my mind as well, that will, no doubt, keep trying to creep in today. I mean, just because I'm a woman in a snowstorm...
      ...that doesn't mean that the rest of my life is gonna stop and just enjoy the scenery!! LOL I'll let you in on what's going on soon. I may need another "Say What You Need To Say" Day!!!
     Okay, a big "WOOT! WOOT!" and THANK YOU to all of you who've been encouraging me through my "ISSUE" with my family; You are part of the reason that there's still a positive spirit lurking somewhere here! :-) 
    And a big hug and kiss to my hubby, who is outside right now shoveling snow off of our car, helping out the neighbors, and making me smile big time! YES!! He's home!! YIPPEE!!! ^_^
        And a poem!


How Can You Be So Positive

"How can you be so positive
with everything so bad?
When folks are so unkind
and all those doctors make you mad?"

"It's easy!" I assure them.
'Cuz one thing makes it okay.
I wake up every morning,
and I'm breathing every day!

When I can't move a muscle
and can barely lift my head,
I think of all the folks I've known
who now are gone, yes, dead!

No matter what my problem is,
and if I stand or lay,
I'm thankful that my mind still works
and I'm breathing every day!

So how am I so positive,
When things sometimes seem bleak?
It's easy, 'cuz my breathing
keeps on going every week!

Oh yes, I have a choice!
I can be miserable and whine;
Be mean to folks around me,
Be demanding and unkind.

But who would make that choice,
when there's a better way to be?
I mean, who's breathing every day
and writing poems?...ME!
