Today was one of my favorite kind of winter day. Sunny and cold. However, still hovering in the 30'sF. Cold enough that you wear mittens and a scarf and feel like it's winter- but warm enough to do what you want to do.
I had an 8:30 breakfast date to discuss school PTO things. 9:45 volunteer time at the school library. A run to the Hardware store to buy gallons of paint to paint Girlpie's room with and then a surprise run back to Newtonville to pick up my fused glass project for a New Art Center class I took last week. I missed out on Wednesday's wonderfully warm weather in that I neglected to plan ahead and didn't charge the boxbike and thus ended up driving. I was sad to see that was my one chance for spring like weather this week- but was determined to be back on the bike Thursday and Friday and I did- I actually enjoy a chilly ride.

Anyway- riding around in the sunshine makes my morning seem like a vast adventure. Nothing really exciting about my above list of things to get done before half day kindergarten lets out. Yet, it was possibly my best morning yet this week. No need for a special SAD lamp- just get me some fresh air under the full sun.
Yes, fresh air really does wonder for the winter blues. I hear you.
ReplyDeleteSunlight+ mild excercise= best cure for the winter blahs ever.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the upper 30's in the morning, especially if it there isn't a nasty headwind.
