Nose Dive
I just can't seem to pull up out of the winter blahs.
I don't want to start the projects in my head, I don't want to clean my house- I am keeping all the basics up at least but that's it. I don't want to do my regular volunteer work. I just keep finding myself looking through my summer posts. Here is sunny July...
I used to think I was a pretty positive person, but it seems I complained about the heat of summer a lot too.
Maybe blogging isn't such a good thing. Maybe I need a sun lamp- since I won't be seeing the sun again anytime soon. The forecast calls for snow, snow & more snow. I normally really like snow in moderation- I'm just spinning downward.
*does winter get you down?
*do you know how I can pull up?

I'm sorry the snow and dreary weather have gotten you down! We don't have snow here, but we've had several days of rain, clouds and cold--blech! It gets me down too.
If you get out, can you get something just for yourself, like some fresh flowers or your favorite drink? Is it too cold to go for a walk?
I think blogging about all the situations, moods, funnies, irks, helps not only to get it out of you, but 9 times out of 10 someone else will relate to what you are feeling. That's a good thing!
Your blog HAS already affected me, and if you weren't here...well, you get what I'm saying!
Hang in there!!
oh, i'e been dealing with the blues all week. they're even more pesky than the blahs. exercising definitely helps. blogging is the big outlet - although i fear i spend a few too many hours a day soothing myself with blogs!
hey, you can pick me up with on of your awesome handmade cards! i feel like i've been in a good mail drought lately (not that i've sent any myself, lately...)
hope you see some sun today!
I think it is time to do something fun to help you perk up. Maybe we all need a girls day out! Let's plan one real soon.
I am getting tired of the freezing cold. I need to paint my cupboard doors but I can't force myself into the freezing garage to do it.......I think it is time to haul them into the basement.
I was down all last winter. I had to spend so many days in bed. I feel so much better. I hope you get out of the doldrums. Doesn't Oprah say to write a gratful diary. Maybe that would help. What I'm grateful for. 1. I have good health. 2. I have wonderful children. 3. I'm not alone. 4. I can see. 5. I can hear. I guess I should write this at my blog. 6. I'm grateful my pj is my friend.

Wow... can I ever relate! It sure makes me feel like a loser. And I can't figure out what it is going to take to get out of it.
I do know if you can keep giving yourself those trips on the treadmill.. that it does do some mental good. (easier said than done... I know).
And I agree with the other comments that getting it out through blogging keeps it from getting all penned up inside, plus helps us others feeling the same way.
And don't worry about coming across being a complainer... it really doesn't read that way at all! I would tell you for sure... you know I would!
I thought that about my blogging too, and my dear Sister assured me I wasn't bringing the whole world down with me. I feel the same about your blog... it is so cool to feel part of your family and be in your daily events through the blogs, and because we all can relate to the up's and down's, it's just part of going through it with you, so KEEP BLOGGING, we love it!!
Hang in there, if I find any miracle cures to beat the winter blues... I will call you!! Until Spring, I guess we will just keep hanging on and like you said before, try not to wish it away (I normally love the snow too, but ugggg!)
Love and BIG HUGS!!
I know what you have its real I had a therapist tell me I suffer from it to...it is SAD (Seasonal Anxiety Disorder) you're right a sun lamp may help or I like Kristy's idea of a girls day, but maybe if your case is severe engough it should be a grils trip to Hawaii. I can usually beat it because my anniversary is the last part of Februray and we try to take a trip somewhere sunny then, but no sold plans are made yet. If I know I have a trip planned even though its not till mid to late winter I can still look forward to it and it seems to help.
On another note if you like to cook I need some help with the teacher SEP dinner on Feb 5th
I have a GREAT idea! Go on vacation and bring your daughter with you! Just an idea...-megs
Maybe you need to go tanning for a bit, I know that can be very helpful for treating the winter blahs.
I'm sorry you're nosediving!
