The Weather outside is frightful and the boredom inside is no better there has to be a better idea than just sitting around wishing it was warm. Here are a few ideas that might help make the day a bit brighter:

• keep the shades and blinds open to allow natural day light to come in. The rays of sunshine may not only help warm the house naturally but also warm your insides a bit as well.
• I can remember taking walks with my sisters and grandmother oh the great times we shared together. Taking a walk when it is not so bitterly cold will help motivate you as well.
• Eating in the winter time takes on a different habit than it does in warm weather. I must tell you that often we eat the things we shouldnt without motivation which can lead us down the wrong path. But eating green veggies will not only help keep us fit but also offer us the boost of energy to help us fight the seasonal depression many of us suffer from
• Its a great time of year to help others. To ward off that seasonal depression and to make others feel great as well. It is a wonderful time to get involved and help others. There are many organizations that may be looking for volunteers in your area.
• Start planning are you a gardner, like to travel or just have fun in the summer? Why not start planning what you will do in the future. It will not only keep your mind occupied but also offer you some fun as well.
• It has often be sad to keep a grateful song in your heart will do one good. It is no different in the winter time. Simply take the time to look around at all you have and be grateful that you have it. The warmness inside may help your disposition stay warm as well.
