Though the winter time has almost past us, the cold air is still lingering in the air. And, there is still very little warmth during the day, especially early in the morning.
I still keep my house well lit throughout the day and do turn on all the lights in the evening before giving in to the night (smile.) It is a little obsessive you may say. But I'd like to stay on the safe side of things. Always keep a light bulb lit up in my mind and in my eyes.
Drink plenty of water helps
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers this advice to help battle the winter blues:
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, especially water.
- Hone in on a hobby, such as making your crafts or reading.
- Take up a new winter sport, such as skiing or ice skating.
- Cut back on dietary portion sizes, and add more fruits and vegetables to your menu.
- Adjust your sleep schedule -- go to sleep earlier and wake earlier in the morning, so you can enjoy a longer day.

GET INVOLVED
In the face of disaster, Americans come together with courage, compassion and unity and ask, “How can I help?”
There are many ways to give encouragements and help to others, especially after a disaster occurs.
The whole community can participate in programs and activities to make their families, homes and communities safer from risks and threats. Nowsaday, communities go online. Therefore, even if you are homebound, log on and reach out to others, like me.

I stock more bottled water at home. It helps everyone drink more. We just forget about water as part of things we used to consume. :)
