Living in the Northeast, winters can take up much of the year. And not growing up with this sort of environment can be quite the adjustment. In fact, it’s taken me 10 years. But, I’m finally content to allow myself to have lazy days and nights, and to comfort myself with food, books, and videos. Yes, I’m anxious for spring and all that entails. But, I’m also happy to relax, gain a bit of weight, try new recipes, watch too much YouTube, and take naps. My bed has become my happy place. Surrounded by cats, pillows, and snacks is sort of like living in a nest. Keeping warm and comfortable is a nice change for part of the year. We get so busy in the warmer months, what with chores, gardening, festivals, late nights, and busier schedules. Give yourself a break and enjoy the downtime! If you must feel somewhat productive, try making lists of the things you’d like to do once the winter is over.
