January warning signs

_MG_9742Take heart, folks.  Things are not as bad as they seem.  The heart attack warning signs you feel gripping your chest? Are just your lungs and heart responding to sub-zero January temperatures as you struggle to breathe. Feeling faint all the time, depressed, light-headed?  Your New Year’s resolution to loose 10 pounds must still be effective. Does your workplace feel like a prison where you never see the light of day?

It’s January!

If you can just hold on a few more weeks, the weather will right itself.  You’ll be pleased with your new body. The sun will be back and you can take regular outdoor excursions before and after work. In the meantime, give a little extra grace to those around you.  I trust they will do the same for you.

Be good to yourself. Read your email by the light of a full spectrum bulb or sit on the sunny side of the house. Fill the bathtub to capacity and give yourself the luxury of a long soak (candles and bubbles if you are female).  Plan some mid-day outdoor time on weekends – even if you have to skip lunch to do it.

And hold on!  It’s going to be a glorious spring!
