It’s gray out there, it’s cold, there’s still more snow to clear. My sinuses are a big problem at the moment, as well as my back, though it is finally getting better.
In the big scheme of things, all of this is nothing. I know that. But I have to guard against falling into a mild depression, especially at this time of year. I know the signs and it’s something I battle at this time of year. I practice gratitude each and every day – both of us do – and I know I am blessed. But January and February really kick my butt. And it seems to be more intense as I grow older. I also have to remember that just over a month ago, I was working on the film and every day was full to the brim. Being back here in the throes of winter is a huge change. Huge. So I’m reminding myself to just be. Perspective is so important.
I suppose that’s why I don’t have much to write about that’s interesting. I work on the puzzle and I read my book, which is very engrossing. We’re laying low here because of the weather, of course, but mostly because of Covid. I’m not about to travel right now, even though a trip to a sunny and warm place sounds so inviting. But to take that chance? Nope. I put on my big girl pants and do what is indicated: stay home.
Something sunny for you today – an outfit from Miema Dollhouse in Germany, which arrived yesterday. I love, love her use of color and her whimsical designs.
Maeve gets to be the first this time:
The outfit comes in three pieces: the dress, the tights, and a cute scarf. How can you not smile when you see this ensemble? I have another dress made by the same woman – you’ve seen it lately on Pippa.
How are you coping with this wintry weather?
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
