{Dear Diary} 1-12-12

January 12, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Dear Diary, Unglueing my eyes from the glow of my laptop screen, I gaze outdoors and see light, soft flurries.  The wind whips them into a furry and reminds me that winter does still exist. The grey sky makes me feel gloomy and lonely.  I want to stay holed up in my house in my…
