When life just starts to wear on you, do you have any objects, rituals, or places you go that help you get back to your true self? I know I do. I seem to go through this every year without fail; around January I get the blues. Maybe it's my anxiety, maybe it's the post holiday let down, maybe January just isn't my month. Whatever it is, I'm mentally exhausted.
So currently I'm hiding out at home, only going out for coffee or....coffee really. I turn to old friends and family; people that really KNOW me. I light tons of candles and clean (those that know me, cleaning to me is thearaputic). I eat an abundant amount of Haagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream. And I read Harry Potter books. And also watch the movies. Repeatedly. Weird, no? But it's oddly comforting.
Hopefully February will bring with it a renewed spirit within me; ready to take on life and all that it brings once again. Until then, thank you J. K. Rowling.

hellooooo! it's your madre!! as i have said before, i believe we humans are somehow related to bears and are suppose to hibernate in the winter. i too go into hiding in the winter season and prefer to be in my warm home unless i go out for coffee. And instead of the potter i fall into the romance novel addiction for my escape. and sorry to say i wish cleaning was my therapy cuz then maybe some would get done....ahh, how i long for a little mania. So maybe your winter blahs are a little bit due to a holiday let down or maybe it's just something you have inherited from me....so sorry! take care of yourself, drink alot of coffee, smoke mucho cigs, and memorize the route to barnes and noble! And remember spring is on the way!!
