But this year we have planned a trip to Puerto Vallarta (leaving on Valentine's Day) and so I've had to go the tanning bed (which I typically try to stay away from)and I've got to admit...the bursts of artificial sun coupled with the anticipation of a beach vacation in February are doing a good job at keeping my seasonal depression at bay this year!momof2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13808423408577424943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226285797342408422.post-39347600230709276472008-01-22T18:05:00.000-06:002008-01-22T18:05:00.000-06:00I know what you mean about winter blues!!

It works well for us! Sunday was -29 here and super windy, but Bushman was barbequeing because we had company and that's what we'd decided to do! I would've taken a picture of them drinking beer and tending the BBQ in their head-to-toe snowmobile suits, but it was just too dang cold and my camera would never have cooperated anyway!!tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226285797342408422.post-23543867537939110202008-01-22T08:53:00.000-06:002008-01-22T08:53:00.000-06:00Oh, I hear you, Lisa!!

Bragging about how well I can survive in this frigid Canadian prairie winter! I just realized not that long ago that having southerners ooooo and ahhhhh over wintery pictures has made me see winter a little bit differently. I never thought of winter as having a beauty of its own before -- I just wanted it to be over!!! Now I still want it to be over, but somehow I'm not caring as much this year that we're in my least favourite season. Maybe thinking up something that your family only does in winter and focusing on doing that as often as possible would help.

I live in Northern Michigan and is COLD here with all kinds of snow and no forecast that it's going to stop.<BR/><BR/>I love winter, but I do get the blues when it's even too cold to be outside sledding, skiing, snow shoeing, etc. So, I will go buy a nice bronzing lotion at the drugstore and give myself some color. I might even book an appt at the tanning salon just to feel the warmth on my skin. It does the trick for my blues when they turn up.Sister Honey Bunch/Judi maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908382097406758687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226285797342408422.post-84412135062843682982008-01-22T02:59:00.000-06:002008-01-22T02:59:00.000-06:00Or we could just book a getaway to Australia or Ne...Or we could just book a getaway to Australia or New Zealand?
