Yet I feel healthier today than I have in weeks. I need to get outside in daylight hours. I need to get moving.
I'm trying to develop a more positive attitude towards winter. Maybe I'll even grab my skates and go check out the canal. It's time to embrace winter.
Or maybe I should join a gym. Read a good book. Watch Netflix while I knit.
Or bury my head under the covers until it's over.
What do you do to cope with winter?

The canal sounds like a nice idea. Really anything that gets you moving and is outside will probably help (even better with that Netflix addition.) No matter what you decide on, I hope you feel better soon. I also hope the Jan. Thaw comes back!
you did it! love the skating photo. we have icy cold here, too, and I am finding that just taking a walk down our road around our neighborhood is providing breaths of fresh air and at least some exercise for both me and my Sadie-girl dog. THEN I love to read in bed and get sleepy and take a good nap. I hope you felt much better after your time outdoors - winter doldrums and having a nasty bug is no fun.
much love and light,
karen
You are going to be horrified but I've never been on skating on the Canal. Me and cold are a bad combo. (Remember the time I during the bus strike I got frostbite? While wearing a hat? With earflaps? Sigh.)
This is the first year we're trying to escape winter for a week with a trip south. I'm so happy at the thought of being warm for a whole week I could cry.
Yay for skating! You look very much like you have made friends with winter in that photo. I cook! And visit with friends as much as possible.
The skate helped my mood a lot. Today might be a bit too cold for that, though. Cooking is a great idea. Going to see if I can cope with taking the dog out and I also cry at the thought of getting out of here.
I did it! And I need to get out again. Yesterday's dog walk involved: wool sweater under winter coat, long johns under fleece pants, balaclava under earflap hat, 2 scarves and my hood. I just need warmer mittens.
Double up the mittens too:)
Yay for walks. I too bundled up and went for a lunchtime walk yesterday and it was actually really beautiful to see the sun. Happy cooking. I've been making soups.
