Change of Season Blues?
It's got me pretty good...
Every year when winter starts to show itself I get sort of sad. It feels a lot more like melancholy than depression... but it's damn close!
And if I forget that it's all caused by the change in season, it can really go soure...
**I keep feesing my brain with happy thoughs of what we will be doing next spring. To keep my head up, I plan for the furure, nothing too overshelming as that could spring me right back into that blue feeling. This winter is for planing our Un-Stable Makerspace which will also be our winter home for next year.
Writing this bit just now, already made me happier, I've even gotten out of bed 😁! Thank you Steemit.
So if you're going through some kind of feeling down right now and you're on the northern hemisphere, just rememeber to feed your brain! Don't let the blues get you down... it'll be over before you know it and we'll all be complaining about the heat again!!!!
Spread your wings and fly to 'where your heart takes you.

I fight the winter blues, which yes is coming upon us, by focusing on flavorful hot teas and snuggles. I spend the indoor time planning next years outdoor time, vacation, and I pass the time "winter cleaning". I rearrange the furniture and reorganize. Something new always seems to bring a sense of excitement to the dreary mood. Now we can all add socializing online to the list of blues fighters!
Yep yep, online socialising will work too! Good to hear I'm not the only one moving furniture around from time to time (I thought it was a crazy family trait!).
I kind of planned a trip for february or march! Fighting the blues!
Oh yes, a trip would be nice. A relaxing one or an adventure?
Little bit of both... Puerto Rico for a month, it's always a relaxing adventure with us!
Sounds great. You can share pics and stories when you come back. Assuming you do. hee hee hee.
I was just thinking about maki g a post of our last trip to Puerto Rico... soon it will be a year already!
No need to fight darkness.
Just switch on the light and darkness will disappear.
Forgot who said that, but that´s it basically.
Some 20 plus years ago I spent five years in tropical climate and after some time I started to miss our four seasons.
There is beauty in all four of them and winter is the price you pay for experiencing spring, when nature explodes in celebration of life.
I like that quote a lot! Awesome. I actually love the different seasons but I know that every year before winter is psychologically tough for me!
Time to make an amazing list of cool, important, fun, nurturing things to do during the cold-inside months. Planning, drawing, art, music, clearing, reading.... Cook some amazing warming spicy foods - that always helps. My suggestion? A big spicy Thai style red curry with lots of COCONUT milk!! haha... see , you got out of bed AND you smiled. :) Enjoy the moments.
Ah yes planning already! Come to think of it we took one of thise Thai cooking classes in Chiang Mai... thanks for your words of encouragement. We're heading to a children's museum to play.
I agree with @likedeeler there is a magic and properness in the changing of the seasons. But you really have to live without them to appreciate it I think. I miss the season changes in northern California and we still have some subtle changes.
Yeah I can see that! I lives in LA for almost a year and I really missed the rain... forget the seasons, I missed those too.
Thanks i forgot about that
