Little Seasonal Blues

by on ‎01-07-2014 05:43 PM

Do the blues get to you, especially after all the holiday hoopla? Family and friends have gone home.  Chelsea is back at school.  Vacation is over.  Lauren, James and I are back to work… New Years was a blast but now it seems like there is not much going on.  The weather has been wild, cold, rainy, snowy etc.  I have that stuffy head fever so I can’t rest thing.  It’s the let down after the holidays.  So I started a list of 5 things to do to get over the New Year let down. 


1. Enjoy the calm.  Maybe the let down is not a bad thing.  We have been buzzing around for 2 months! Read a book, call a friend you didn't see over the holidays.


2. Take the decorations down but leave a little sparkle.  I left my Valerie Parr Hill orbs and lit garland up. (I think they are staying up year round)


3. Buy some fresh flowers.  The landscape may be brown and grey but you can add fresh flowers to bring a pop of color indoors and dream about Spring.  Spring Equinox is Mar. 20th only 71 days away. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}



4. Organize the photos you took this year over the holidays.  Send them to the family that you didn’t see.  It will bring back memories for you and make those that were not with you feel like they were part of the celebration.



5. Volunteer - Community centers, schools, Church’s etc. always need help.  During the holiday there is typically a big push for donations and volunteers but after the holidays our focus often goes to other things.  The need is still there.  Donate your time, talent or treasure. 


So what things do you do to keep the blues away?  Share your ideas with me.


Happy Winter to you and yours!!
