This has been a gray, brutal winter in my neck of the woods. Despite being from Chicago, the constant snow storms, cold and lack of sunshine has put a damper on my spirits. Not sure if it is because I’m getting older and less tolerant of cold, gray days or if something else is going on like a Vitamin D deficiency.
To combat sliding into weather-related hysteria, I’ve been spending time on Pinterest pinning gardening images like mad and drooling over spring and summer recipes. My family and I are also doing a very quick trip to Florida to soak in some warmth and sunshine. Hopefully, these strategies will get me through the rest of this long winter, which Punxsutawney Phil believes is going to last another five weeks or so.
How do you cope with the Winter Blues? This includes those in warmer climes as I know the influx of people like me, desperate for sun, can put a damper on your spirits as well.
