How to survive being lost:

1. Don't panic. (It happens to most of us at one time or another.)
2. Don't get down on yourself. (As I said, It happens to most of us at one time or another.)
3. Accept where you are. (If you try to push it and get somewhere else, you're likely to get deeper and deeper into unknown territory, eventually forgetting where you've been.)
3. Pay attention to the details of where you are and make of the best of what you find there. (Take the S10 out with the wife and enjoy the "intimate" space it provides.)
4. If you're in Rochester, NY, don't even try to think about finding your way out until the true Spring and Summer arrive. (Of course, this may require waiting until June.)
5. Look for friends to help get you through the confusion that comes from being lost. (TSL isn't all that far away, you know.)

Just one other thought, a quote from Douglas Adams: "For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen." Sometimes the gray and cold of winter and early spring can just seem to drag on forever, but it's an illusion. The sap will start flowing in the trees again and the old urges will slowly start to return.
