With the onset of winter my mood
would automatically change;
I would start feeling very blue.
This winter I decided that I
would embrace the winter and
try to change my attitude.
I found some Ways to beat those
winter Doldrums that so far work
for me.
When I go to the supermarket
1 - I buy a bouquet of flowers -
These were on sale for $5.00 !!
Having fresh flowers around cheers
me up.
2 - Feed the birds
During the summer; I use my deck upstairs
to dye fabric. Now it has become a
place for me to feed the birds. I put
up some suet to attract Woodpeckers.
And I was pleasantly rewarded!
Red Bellied Woodpecker - Female
Flicker - Female
Flicker - Female
I have never had the opportunity
to see woodpeckers this close!
And I'm shooting through my
double-glassed sliding doors
with my Kodak camera.
3 - Enjoying the Beautiful Winter
Sunsets
Glorious!

5 - Exercise and a brisk walk in the park
is invigorating - especially on a sunny day.
And I don't forget to take my camera!
6 - Relaxing and reading a good book before
going to sleep.
I discovered a new Historical Fiction Writer!
Bernard Cornwell - I'm currently on the 3rd
book of The Saxon Series - "The Lords of the North".
So far, I'm actually enjoying the winter -
despite the snow and cold!
