I Love this photo of the Kingfisher sitting in the tree watching the pond - looking for a fish.

Or maybe he's just resting and thinking about where he'll go next.

Does winter get you down in the dumps occasionally?

Our weather is quite rainy so it is a good time to plan a vacation to somewhere Warmer and Dryer where the Sun is Shining.

We often need a little extra motivation (kick in the butt)

to get out of bed on these dark mornings.

I'm not sure about you but I also need to observe my thoughts more at this time of year as they can get me grumpy, depressed, sad or wanting to sit like a lump in the chair complaining about something.

I really need those Wellness Minutes

 I mentioned  in this post

We sold our little motor home so we won't be travelling to a warmer, drier, sunnier place so I am being more aware of how my thoughts play a huge part in how I spend my days.

One thing I'm doing is to get out more even if it is raining.  The dogs don't care if it's raining so an extra walk or some kind of outing is good.  Often when I get out I find that it is nicer than I thought so I feel much better after.

I also use Meditation, my writing and several other activities that take me out of my head which really helps pass the time in a good way.

I've been working on trying to present my best self wherever I go, so I decided that this is also just as important to do at home.  Mood Changer.

This little message from my book Moving Forward from the Heart  helps.

"Surround yourself with what you love,

and what you love and give out,

will be what comes back to you ..."
