The ground hog in our area said six more weeks of winter. Hmm.....first of February I can pretty well guarantee we will have six or more weeks of winter regardless of a shadow. That said we thought we all need a bit of a pick-me up. Something to do, look forward to and maybe plan. Here are a few ideas.
- Pick yourself up some flowers. The don't have to be expensive. There are some lovely bouquets at the grocery stores. We are worth it.
- If you have to submit your vacation for the summer (or year) soon start looking at cottages to rent if that if your thing. Beach, lake, middle of now where all good.
- Clean out your linen closet. Toss those towels that will never look clean again. Those old sheets - what are we saving them for. Once this is done treat yourself to new towels or bed linen. Something pretty for the spring
- Treat yourself to a magazine when your picking up your groceries. Home decorating. Cooking.
- If you have a pile of book - pick one up and start it. Take time for you to sit and read. Put your feet up. We all know once the weather gets warm we will be out and about. Use this time to nest.
- Pinterest anyone! If you enjoy doing crafts now it the time to pop into Pinterest and check out spring crafts or Easter. Lots of time to pin and get supplies.
- I always have blank cards around for last minute wishes. What about picking a friend or two and sending "just because" snail mail cards.
- Make a date with friends.
- Book a facial or have one at home. I always have a few scrubs or facials to grab when I feel I need a pick me up self-care wise.
- Get outside! Yes it is still cold so dress for it. Enjoy the fresh air. If you have snow enjoy that. Take the kids or adults snow shoeing or sledding.
