How to cure the Winter blues

Blah!

Hey there everyone!

Is there really a cure for the Winter blues?

Personally, I don’t think there is a cure, however, I do think you can do a few things to get you through those long

cold

wintry

snow blowing days.

South Carolina is not accustomed to snow, as you know.

But today, it is coming down like crazy!

But, I am a Buffalo girl,

and this ain’t NOTHIN!

I do like that it is only for a day or two, and I suppose it does look pretty fresh and fluffy on the ground.

 I believe I am one of those people that suffer from

seasonal affective disorder.

If there are certain number of days in a row with no sunshine..

I feel like crap, I’m tired, want to sleep more and just in general a bit withdrawn.

Truly, I am.  By the time February hits, I am in a bit of a funk.

Withdrawn, and not really feeling great day to day.

Perhaps it is all in my head, but since I moved to the Carolina’s after living in South Florida for nine years

I see the pattern.

A few of my close friends and family are also aware of it, they sorta chuckle, really don’t get it.

I do take Vitamin D every day now, along with Primrose and perhaps notice a slight difference in my moods this time of year.

 I actually keep the  burlap  rag wreath in the window for a reason.

I don’t like to look out at bare sticks for trees,

and all the mess from Fall still residing around, just waiting for Spring clean up.

I love the smell of fresh flowers and scents, and always have something burning.

 I do believe it stimulates my senses to a happier place.

So I made  one for you  as well.

I made it in an 8×10 but printed it in 5 X7.  

You can do that too..and just trim it to size the smaller frame.
