How to Brighten a Gray Day
10. Clear your plate of responsibilities as early in the day as possible, this includes exercise and demanding work related “to-dos.” - Okay, not so good, but it doubles the pleasure of the rest of them because you don’t have guilt sitting on your shoulder…
9. Spend quality time with any fur kids or kids of the 2-legged variety. Play games, give lots of hugs, feed them etc.
8. Drink a mocha from your favorite mug (feel free to substitute any favorite hot beverage).
7. Queue up an upbeat album on your stereo or Nano and dance around. Sounds silly, but it gets the endorphins going and it’s nice to dance when on one is watching :-)
6. Take hot bath or shower with your “special” bath products that you save for special occasions.
5. Knit with some great yarn that feels great passing through your fingers as you make each stitch.
4. Spin with some great fiber that feels great passing through your fingers as you make yard after yard of new yarn.
3. Wear something you made. Especially effective is something that is brightly colored and contains at least one of your favorite colors.
2. Take some time to talk with someone you love who is far away.
1. Work on some hand knit or hand spun (or both) goodness for a wonderful friend!
If you are in need of any suggestions for #4 & #5, just give a holler! :-)
