• During the winter months I sleep more at night because in my dreams I escape and am happy. I connect with old friends and family.
• My dog and I started walking again in town.
• I enjoyed returning to the gym this week.
• Hot showers and baths soothe my aches and relax me in the evenings.
• Reading library books and my Bible give me comfort.
• Reaching out to friends in the morning and at night keep us connected.
• The Christmas lights help with the darkness.
• We display hand-written Christmas cards from friends and family.
• Our home is warm, safe, abundant and peaceful with caring and love.
• The sunshine is less, so days when it appears, I always pause with my dog and thank God for the light.
• Music also lifts our spirits and passes the time.
• Occasional take-out and dining out are appreciated from our home-cooked meals. They also help fight cabin-fever.
• My Dad and I look forward to watching Netflix shows after dinner that my son recommended to us.
• We keep moving ahead and looking out for one another.
• Tomorrow I long to return to my church and think and pray on my drive. It will be wonderful to worship with old friends.
• Then we will sit down and eat dinner together with my son and his girlfriend.
• Some simple and good activities to get us through the light and darkness.
