Rainy days and foul weather tend to bring more people to gyms and yoga studios. Or some to stay home and reconnect with family and friends in front of the hearth (aka kitchen?). Heading into darker mornings, shorter days, colder temperatures with nips and frost in the air. Bring out the coats and jackets, the turtlenecks. My girlfriend up in Portland, however said she loves this weather where there’s rain outside and you hear the pitter-patter on the rooftops, snuggled up in a warm and cozy home, a sanctuary. It’s when she does a lot of reading, baking and cooking. According to her, best time to be reflective and creative – making jams and preserves … ahhh, the scent that fills the kitchen and spills into rest of the living space. Then curling up with a good book. Then … practice some yoga 🙂 If you are harried and have no such luxury caring for others and that job, that job … carve out a time to not only exercise (walks with umbrella in hand and boots – refreshing!) but to … decompress and reconnect. Feel better. Stay well.
