Rain, Rain, Go Away
Dark skies since 3pm, howling winds, contractors giving the run-around, window leaking again, and our puppy peeing by the back door... ahh, Winter. It's a rough time of year, but we're managing to keep our heads up and hearts happy.
Our line of defense against the Winter Blues:
- Cuddle with puppy -- Sunny also jumps up to lick your face when he hears crying. He rocks!
- Light candles -- As many as I can find and as often as possible.
- Play some tunes -- Did I listen to a full day of Mraz radio on Pandora? Perhaps I did.
- Drink hot tea -- Once a goal, now an obsession. Yes, I will have a third cup, thank you!
- Take a shower -- I too often fight getting in, but can't deny how much better I feel afterward.
- Dance -- Together, alone, with the puppy... It's all a win.
- Cook together -- The time together is worth the occasional tiff.
- De-clutter and rearrange -- Change up furniture and clear out the excess for a clear head.
- Reassess and make a plan -- Step back, determine if a fix is possible, and draft action steps.
- Chip away at the to-do list -- Getting things done makes relaxing that much better!
