Blessing the Blahs

The end of January brings with it more rain, then more snow, then more rain…and then lots of foggy days. I don’t know about you, but I need a little ray of sunshine. The winter blahs are hitting many people (like me) earlier than usual.

So much so, that I realized it is time to share with you how I manage to pull myself out of winter’s grip and turn around those drab days by blessing the blahs. That’s right…bless the blahs.

Where can we find goodness? Where is there hope? How can we give ourselves permission to step back and nurture our souls when we are feeling out of sorts?

I read that napping, hugging a pet, going outside for a brisk walk, calling a friend, can be some ways to bless those blahs.

I think, though, giving yourself a mental health day (and not getting out of your pajamas) is another way of coping with the blahs. And RuRu, the cat, agrees! Yes, RuRu makes another guest appearance in the video, along with Fritz, the dog, and my neighbor’s playful cows!

So come, join me! Get comfy, pour yourself some hot coco or coffee or tea and let’s get through the winter blahs together.
