BLUE MONDAY 2018

So it is supposed to be a difficult day. Mid January. The bills have arrived. The cold. The long winter. Well it is my niece's bday so there is a spark of light.
The pressures of trying to keep the New Year resolutions- I didn't make any so I am good.
My daughter in her blog House of Kerrs wrote 7 strategies to embrace the dark side of winter.

Well for me January is always a time for culturing, cleaning, sorting, scrapbooking and the lull before the spring garden work arrives. Trying to get this house in order for eventual downsizing. Which is closer than it was a year ago.
Winter blues can be life threatening too. Trying to get out in bad weather brings extra stress- slippery roads, cleaning off the car, worried about bad drivers. Public transit can be delayed too. So to go out to the gym or just exercise at home. I power walk around my house with weights in my hands in the winter.

So I did not make a list. But why don't you make one! 5 things that would make you happy right now.
For me, sitting on a beach watching the waves roll in. Instead I get some satisfaction feeding the birds in the backyard.
It is only a day and before we all know it Tuesday will roll around.
