It’s February and though we haven’t gotten much snow the winter doldrums have certainly set in. The best way to stay happy throughout the winter is to change your mindset–make winter fun.
When I was a kid my mom gave me great advice. One piece of advice she gave was that if someone ever teases you act like you don’t care. They won’t get any satisfaction out of it and they won’t tease you. It was totally effective. Treat winter the same way.
When it does snow have a snowball fight, go sledding, build a snow man.
Go a little further north and go skiing or cross country skiing. Go ice skating. Bundle up and go for a hike in your favorite state park.
Get a group of friends together for game night and have some fun. Have a fire.
Whatever you do, don’t let the winter stop you!
Your mom sounds like a wise woman.
