10 Ways to Combat Rainy Day Blues



Fall leaves - Got a Dictionary?


Today is a the first cold wet day we've had in a while--and given the fires that have been springing up, I suppose #1 in combating the Rainy Day Blues is

1. Count our blessings. 
2. A close second is a pot of fresh ground coffee.
3. Brave the drizzle for a brief walk with Faithful Companion.
4. Call your Mom.
5. Bake something that smells good.
6. Look at your bright cheerful photos, not those that match the gloomy outdoors.

8.  Clean one thing--be modest in your ambitions here--cleaning ANYTHING will lift your spirits.

9.  Paint something or make a collage.  Start on your Christmas cards (!)

10. Sweet talk your daughter into bringing over the Baby.

DEFAULT VALUE:   Curl up in bed under a fluffy comforter with a good book--or a lover if you have one handy!
