November Blues

US election. Lockdown „light“. Travel restrictions. Terror in Austria and France. Early dark nights. Increased number of Covid. November Blues.

Difficult times for the head & the heart. And plenty of ides how to spoil our souls.

Stay 10 minutes longer in bed. Not sleeping, but awake. Enjoy the light & the warmth. A new day. Every morning. Amazing feeling! And the best: problems don’t get through the thick dawn duvet. And working from home makes it possible!

Snuggle up with your dog (if you don’t have one check them out in the park). There’s nothing better than a dogs love. They just enjoy to be with you. No more reason needed. Greeting you when you come back home. Or just returning from another room. Giving kisses. Pure happiness. Pure love. (Charlie enjoys the extra 10 minutes in the morning the most!).

Baking or cooking with cinnamon. For the smell. The mind. And the soul. Mmmmhhhh… the whole house is smelling. Winter smell. Famous smell. Fantastic smell.

Supporting the neighbors. Each other. Sharing cake. And soup. And getting fruits in return. Inviting for a common (dog) walk. Exchange over the hedge (social distancing – check). Taking the bin out for them. It feels good to take care of each other.

Clean up! Rooms. Cellars. Whatever. Feels good! (If not already done in first look down this year. Lol).

Music. Sing. Play guitar. Listening to records. Helps. Always!

…Whoa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now. I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got you…

Forest hike. Go! Put a coat on. Take an umbrella. Maybe a torch. Maybe your neighbor. And dog. And go! No excuse. Get out, move your body, refresh your mind, breath. Deeply. Come back home. Relax with a cup of tea. So good!

Take a bath! No matter which day in the week or what time. Nothing is better than soaking (in lavender). Followed by a hot chocolate or a cup of tea. Sooooo good! Alternatively a foot bath.

Photo show from past vacations. One year ago or 10 years ago. Doesn’t matter. Soooo good. Especially in times of travel restrictions. Feel free to have popcorn and a drink. Get inspired for the after corona time. Dreams on.

Yes, this is the time to be strong and positive. But sometimes it also feels good to let go. Call someone you love. And trust. And tell them how you really feel.

Bord Game times! Play time.

Books! Cuttle on the Sofa. Follow recommendations. Or anything else. And get lost in the story.

Time for watching series. Snuggle up on the couch. Ready for a good film or series marathon…

Preparing rich & spiced up food. For the fun. And the health. Sometimes it has to be a glass of wine at lunch time. Why not!

November Blues. Gone. It’s Christmas Eve in 7 weeks! Pleasant anticipation. Have a great weekend y‘all!
