Winter has come

Hello all!

Yesterday it snowed, and snowed all day today, and I had a difficult time being productive. I normally can leave the house, but the extra road hazard this week makes it harder to get out and about. Does anyone have winter activities/suggestions/motivation to get through the seasonal blues?

I have a few books, but focus is difficult some days. I’m not working right now either. I cooked a soup earlier today (it smelled kinda weird.) Not in distress or anything like that right now, just had some thoughts today I don’t care to carry into the rest of my week. Any fresh or other ideas that help people in cold climates are openly appreciated and accepted<3

Hello Anxious

I know how you must feel, sometimes I feel if I could start the day again I would get a more positive result. However we must try and make a more positive result when things go Pear shaped

On our return from Durham Friday, we had a good drive home, when we were watching the news and they had, been snowed upon later that day, I looked at the fact we had been lucky we had managed to get home before the snow fell. In a way we were lucky because all we had on the Scottish Border were showers of sleet so that lifted our mood, we were lucky and felt thankful we had managed to travel in bright sunlight, and Autumn colours of the trees

Yesterday was something very much the same, our morning was a really foggy morning until mid afternoon. We had earlier thought we would visit one on our Stately Homes at Coldstream and we looked out the window and could see nothing, so we thought would not be worth going out pm. However the fog lifted like magic and we got in the car and took Pax to the gardens. Norhumberland/Scottish Borders are very pretty at this time. When we arrived the ducks, swans, moorhens where all swimming about and feeding on a reflective lake surface and the trees around the ground had changed colours to reds and green hues, this was set of by others in there orange, yellow hues. What had started as an unpromising day had become a wonderful afternoon and Pax really enjoyed playing with the ducks. We had a wonderful walk that had been very unpromising earlier in the day

Part of our days can show as unpromising or even a real chore. We need to grab what the day offers and consider life cannot always be a positive experience. Our lives would be boring if every time we have expectations things go right.

We all need to embrace life good or bad and just move on, this morning the weather is not that good so Pax and an adventure will most probably be curtailed before it has begun..

Life needs to be taken by the neck and we run with the results and actions given, we move on. If life was always positive all would be boring. We take the rough with the smooth. Everyone at various times in their Lives suffers low mood or depression it is up to us to accept the good and bad and accept that is part of life we move on to more positive interludes

Thank you Bob for your inspiration. Your story was very lovely, with the swans and ducks sounds beautiful. Everything is white with snow here there seems no end to the stuff. I guess this season comes to an end too though. Thankful for changes in season.
