Life is like that sometimes. I know exactly what you mean about the smiles but feeling empty or not sincere about it. But it will pass. Tough decisions must be made from time to time. But the dark days do not last forever. Just keep going! Hope you can can a genuine smile soon enough. You know I've felt that way before. Sometimes for months. But stay positive and the brighter day and mood will come. Hang in there! Nature is a great way to find some peace too.

As for me this weekend, if the rains lets off a little bit I would love to take my kayak out. Sometimes I stay out on the water for hours. Just slowing drifting. So weather permitting, that's what I'll do. If not, then maybe just a quick ride on the bicycle between downpours. Keep strong @galenkp.
