I definitely get the winter blues. It is so gray much of the winter where we live and that wears on me! We live near a YMCA that has an indoor pool. Getting in that pool in the winter helps trick my mind into thinking it is warmer than it actually is. Plus, I get to shed those heavy clothes and wear my bathing suit and it feels like I have been set free. When I didn't have access to an indoor pool, I used to soak in the tub in the evening. That felt nice. It helps me to walk outside, even when it is cold. I have some boots just for that. I also try to keep the blinds in the house open as much as possible and sit near the window to get as much light as possible. I like gardening and looking through catalogs in the winter is helpful ... I dream about what I will plant in the spring, most of which I never accomplish but whatever ... I have a friend who leaves her Christmas tree up most of Dec. and Jan. and plugs the lights in every night. She says looking at them helps her mood.
