My antidote to winter depression (a free journal)
Yesterday evening I suddenly decided to add my freebies as a page on this blog. I copied the text from my old website, finagled it a bit to fit with my blog, and hit publish.
I love to have my freebies here, and I love that I saw my own journal again.
You see, I noticed the first inklings of winter depression seep into me today, and I focused even harder on what makes me joyful.
One of those things that kept the feelings of unrest at bay, was just seeing my journal again. I didn't add it to my iPad to look at it, nor did I print it. Just knowing what's in it made me smile. One of the questions is about a favourite outfit, and I decided that the comfy jumper I was wearing was probably my favourite winter jumper.
Then I thought of a gorgeous blue/pink/white patterned jumper I have and then decided that that had to be my favourite.
I giggled at myself, made a cup of tea and set out to do some handsewing.
This is the gift from two difficult years, this joy brewing in me.
One I cherish each and every day, even now winter looms.
