I don't care for the cold of winter as well. I like to see the sunshine. Helps my mood tremendously. I'm sorry you are going through this today. I like to get on Netflix and watch series of shows. That can give you something to do. I hope that the sun visits you more in the coming days. Stay positive and know that we are all here to talk to.

why not take a nice hot bubble bath before bedtime?
My sister, who lives in London, says it's freezing there
and so she enjoys a hot bath before bedtime every night :)

Hi SG....yes I do perk up with the sun, but lately even that hasn't "moved me". I used to have Netflix but after a while seemed they never changed their programing so I got rid of it...now just have utube with no commercials...yes I pay 13.00 a month for that...tried Hulu too, same thing, same programing.

Hi Mark....wishing I could take a bb, I only have a shower...when I had my bathroom remodeled several years ago Stupid Me I had them take out the tub and do walk in shower only! UGH.

I feel for your sister, I think England and Ireland have very challenging weather most of the time wet/raining with no long summer like I have on East Coast. I went to a school in Eastbourne, England...by the sea, but very yucky weather!

Im over winter too. They snow in the backyard has frozen over and when i took Rocket out this morning it was pure ice and I slid everywhere.
I can relate to feeling alone at home. Start a new hobbie or pick up an old one and try to stay busy

Hi SSG...yes hobbies are good. Another, the second in a row Crazy Warm Day, 54 degrees! I'll be sitting outside again today, feel the warm sun, take in the sounds of nature, faith spring will come~~

Hey ML, good to see you. sorry that you're feeling the cold and that john is soon to move out. When does spring/summer start where you are? Ireland actually has a very temperate climate with neither extremes of cold or heat. It is generally warm enough from March/april until Oct/Nov and for the past number of years our winters have been mild too. I hope you find some joy in your garden soon as things begin to blossom again. My mini daffodils are out and are beautiful. big hugs to you.

Yes! Winter is feeling grueling right now. I have been super busy this weekend -all good things - and keeping busy has forced me to get up and get going. Otherwise I would just stay under the covers all day. Which is fine - rest is important- but I know myself and how that fuels depression….

Winter warming hugs to all.

This has been really a wicked long cold bitter winter so I hear you ML.... Do you have a SAD lamp sweetie?

It might help you some

If you're feeling low maybe a good time for baby steps and not trying to look so far ahead..... Gentle hug.... xo
