January Blues?


 It is middle of January and I imagine, there are some of us that are feeling the January blues.  January can seem that it lasts forever!  Plus it is cold and dreary.  Now yes, I live in Florida but we are still getting our share of cold, chilly and overcast days.  What are some ways to boost your spirit?

Sunshine!  My husband tells everyone I am solar-powered and that is definitely true.  Sit outside in the sunshine even if you have to wrap up in a blanket and get some sun on your face!  Sunshine is probably my greatest boost in my day!

Exercise.  Even if you are just walking on a treadmill or walking to the mailbox, move!  You do not realize how it can boost your spirit.

Surround yourself with ambience.  Light candles around your home.  Put on a pretty scene with some light music playing (via You Tube) on your TV.  Turn on lots of lamps and pretty white lights.  Light the fireplace.

Bake something.  Whether it is a batch of cookies or a loaf of homemade sourdough bread, it will make your home smell so good and you have something to enjoy!

Make small daily goals for yourself.  Check them off as you go.  Accomplishing something will give you a boost and you will want to accomplish something else!  I have a new planner for 2025 and I love all the things to check off!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
