The Dog Days of Winter

Yes, it's that time of year when many of us want to just stay curled up in our pajamas, hiding under a duvet and maybe not come out until the first glimpse of spring!  With the holidays over, life is maybe just a little bit boring. No more parties, no more late night shopping, no more decorating the house. It's just winter now. Just winter. The short days make it hard to find much energy.   It's hibernating time, pure and simple.  So let's make the cave perfect for the season.  First requirement, perfect pajamas of course. Warmth is of utmost importance.  Feeling wrapped up and cozy will make hibernating more enjoyable.  Next, gather your favorite books, DVD's, newspapers, magazines, journals around you.  Stuff that makes us happy is very helpful now.  The TV, the laptop...well for me are key. Food and drink, well that's all about preference but I would say, yes, very key also. Maybe you have a favorite winter food, a favorite winter drink. Actually, it's always nice to hibernate with friends and family so I suggest inviting one and all into the cave.  Now is the perfect "Sleepover" season.  How about you, are you surviving the  "Dog Days of Winter"?
