YOU SAY…

IT IS YOUR CLASSIC SLATE SKY,  COLD WINTER DAY TODAY.   THE OLD SNOW ON THE SIDES OF THE ROADS IS GREY NOW AND WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ABOUT, THE CARS ARE DULL WITH DIRT AND GRIME.  

I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS WHO ARE REALLY AFFECTED IN A NEGATIVE WAY BY DAYS LIKE TODAY.  THEY NEED MORE SUN TO FEEL UP AND IT CAN DRASTICALLY AFFECT THEIR MOOD ON A DAILY BASIS.

MAYBE YOU KNOW SOMEONE LIKE THIS .  MAYBE YOU ARE THAT PERSON. 

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ?  BESIDES THE PERHAPS OBVIOUS DECISIONS TO SIT UNDER LAMPS OR TAKE MORE VITAMIN D … I LIKE TO THINK ABOUT GOOD THINGS. 

I MIGHT TAKE THE TIME ON A SATURDAY LIKE TODAY TO READ A GOOD BOOK WITH A NICE CUP OF TEA.  I MIGHT TRY CHATTING WITH A GOOD FRIEND ..LIKE I DID TODAY.  ( THANKS , JANE.) 

DO YOU HAVE A HOBBY?   TODAY I WORKED ON MY PYSANKY.  DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?   THIS IS THE ART OF DECORATING BLOWN EGGS WITH DYES UNTIL YOU HAVE A FINISHED ‘UKRAINIAN’ EGG COVERED WITH WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN SYMBOLISM . THIS DETAILED WORK MAKES ME FEEL RELAXED AND GIVES ME A SENSE OF PURPOSE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT IN THIS DARK BUT HOLY SEASON OF LENT. 

I WILL POST SOME PHOTOS OF MY WORK AT A LATER DATE. 

DO YOU FEEL LOST WHEN THE WINTER DAYS SEEM ENDLESS ?  ( I HAVE THE BLESSING OF ESCAPING WINTER NOW . I AM PRETTY SURE I AM OFFICIALLY IN THE SNOWBIRD CLUB BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN TAKE THE TIME OR HAVE THE MEANS TO DO THIS I KNOW.) 

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A SONG BY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS,  LAUREN DAIGLE .    ENJOY !
