The Winter Of My Discontent
"Happiness crept upon me unawares, while I wasn't looking. " - Kristín
... And a vague malaise has enveloped me by a somewhat similar methodology. Perhaps it was this endless drab winter, or maybe it is the calm before the storm (we've got a doosy coming this week-end), nevertheless I've been unsettled as of late. There really is no good reason for my melancholia. A couple feet of heavy snow might be just what this cranky pseudo-prof needs- a good kick in the rear by mother nature to drive out these unfocused anxieties...
UPDATE: So I painted a bit, read a blog post about Halldór Laxness (thanks Rose!) and now I feel much better.

Light a few candles. Think of the things that make you happy. Hug you wife. Remember that as all things shall pass, so shall your discontent.
