About this weather, yes, I agree, enough said. For what it is worth, a few years ago I learned to just embrace it. Bundle up, get out and do something in it while it's around. Whether it's running, or skiing, or what have you, if you make an effort to make the most of it it really is less depressing, although I admit I need to refill my vitamin D bottle. Another tip I found that works for me on these grey days is those goofy yellow glasses the hunting guys wear. Try it, greens are brighter, colors more vivid. I actually notice that I feel a little more chipper when I have them on. Well, it's back to the treadmill of shop work for me today, after another cup of coffee laced with real butter and coconut oil (try that too, essential oils for brain health). Happy winter and go make the most of it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15626594555275140983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-73801295361928466842018-12-02T21:50:04.353-06:002018-12-02T21:50:04.353-06:00Have a local friend who is similarly conflicted ab...Have a local friend who is similarly conflicted about the Streak.
