The Winter Blues remind me of a jazz song,
Or most often of a blues band
Helping those listening
And bringing them to a better place.

I never had the Winter Blues when I was a kid.
I wanted to run around, sled and have snowball fights
‘Til Mom yelled “time for dinner”.
As I got older, duties…work…got in the way.

Then I joined the military.

They definitely took the fun out of winter
With trainings in the mountains
Or deployments to cold countries.

Then trauma hit my life….hard
The Winter Blues seemed to be year round.
The Winter Blues pushed me to suicide.

I had to get help to deal with my Winter Blues.

Now, with the help of Kim and Willie,
The Winter Blues are less.
I’m starting to enjoy it again,

Running in the snow and not wanting to go in.

My Winter Blues are now on vacation
And I plan on keeping them there!
