It is raining very hard again. I´m glad that Luna had her run when it stopped for some time. I was going to make my lunch when I saw her, looking at me as if knowing that I would not come out. I could not stand it. I looked...

Ashley Beukers @thequestioner (83) • Italy 16 Nov 15

I just read an article where they talk about Winter Blues and I found it very interesting. I never consider it, when the days get shorter and a little more gray, the mood often suffers the consequences. Not only there is a lack...
