Hi All, made it through the night

Just woke up, it's a beautiful day outside, and in spite of the insult added to injury by daylight savings time -sneaking in an additional hour by turning clocks back - I'm going to get myself out of the house to enjoy this almost 80° sunny day!Even when doing the right thing doesn't make me feel better, it still keeps me from feeling worse. See if that's true for you, and lt it be your motivation next time you don't want to do anything except curl up in a ball. ☺️

It is worth making effort - fresh air, sunshine and hormones delight in the sun - helps with sleep also

Hi Existing, I'm trying to get myself out of the house on this beautiful day as well.

Housekeeping can wait for all those snowy cold days that will be coming soon.

Enjoy the Sun and the beauty of nature all around you. :) xx
