Got the Winter Blues? Not me! But here is some tips for those that do.
A list of Simple Pleasures for the Winter:
- a warm cup of hot chocolate, tea, or a latte
- ginger snap cookies
- blankets!
- working internet
- skype call with a good friend
- mindless tv.
- an hour long cross country ski or snowshoe
- fluffy flaked snow
- snow angels, snow men, snowforts- you are never too old!
I have been enjoying the little bit of snow we have had here. All in all the winter weather has been rather wimpy this year so I have had to make the best of the little that does exist. Enjoyed a great ski this weekend. I haven't been X-country skiing for long. I did a little when I was a child, and I was able to do a bunch last year when I borrowed a pair of skis from a friend. This year I got a pair of my own and want to get good use out of them- if only the weather will continue to cooperate.
For those of you who have more mild weather at the moment and don't have any snow replace the snowy weather items with one of these:
- don a pair of rubber boots and a raincoat and go puddle jumping!
- grab a pair of binoculars and see what kind of birds are in your neighbourhood
- re-engineer the water pathways that cascade down your gravel driveway by digging trenches and building dams....
......... oh wait! What's that Dad?...... I'm not supposed to do that last one?- OOPS!
If you have fun with any of the above options or have any to add, feel free to leave a comment and tell me.
