Oh, What Do You Do.....

Oh, what do you do in the winter time
When all the world is froze.
Do you defrost your toes or clean out your nose
or look for a new kind of rose?


Seriously, how do you keep your sanity in the long cold dark hours of winter? I have been reading a ton. I am just interested in how to keep from baking treats and eating them.

I Purpose a Change

I have really been struggling with the winter blues...once again. I looked back on the autumn season and realized that I need Thanksgiving in January. Why shouldn't we move it? It would finally get the recognition it deserves if it came after Christmas. January is a bleak month, but a great time to reflect on my blessings. I realize that we celebrate a day of giving thanks for our harvests, but my harvests come in all year. So.. I am going to have a mini Thanksgiving. I may even set aside a Sunday and prepare a special meal. I am so grateful for all the help my Heavenly Father sends to me. He even calmed my troubled mind with perfect peace the other day. I promise I couldn't have done it myself.
I wonder if any of my family (children, parents etc. ) would like to celebrate our blessings a second time in January?
Could be fun and very therapeutic.
