Winter Greys

I know February is nearly over and spring is within sight, but winter still feels hard to get through. Clearly my solution of buying more sweaters hasn't been helping to lift my mood, and the days seem to blur together in a mess of grey clouds and rain, making those moments when the sun does come out difficult to recall.

The days are getting longer, but I haven't noticed, it still feels like it's dark by 4 p.m. and my desire to spend more hours in bed than out in the world hasn't decreased during my first Connecticut winter where instead of being in front of a computer at an office job, I'm out in the elements walking dogs. I thought trading my sedentary existence for a more active one would give me more energy, but that is clearly not happening. At least my stamina has increased, a year ago three consecutive walks would crush me, now I can handle five and continue functioning for the remainder of the day. Still, the moment I arrive home, done for the day, bed beckons.

  1. Such a cosy knit on you and all these neutrals work together so well :) It is hard being motivated in winter, much warmer staying indoors snuggled up, haha! :)

    Hope that you are having a nice week :)

  2. I feel like every winter my energy levels just fall off a metaphorical cliff and all I want to do is laze around and nap. Sigh, I wish I could just go back to bed now.

  3. Staying motivated to do anything in winter is a daily struggle. Because I work from home, I will admit that there are long periods of time when I do nothing in the way of getting dressed but change form pajamas into a sweatsuit in the morning, and continue making that switch day after day. I don't have to go outside, so I don't - because although it sometimes helps when I do, other times it does nothing but make me feel like winter is never going to end. But I'm trying to look forward, because in the past two years, I've been able to start running outside in April, which is now only a month away. Fingers crossed the weather pattern holds for this year, I just might be able to make it through one more month... but we'll see.

  4. I find I have such a hard time getting up in the morning these days. My bed is just so warm and I don't usually get work until a little later in the morning so it's easy to just say "5 more minutes" which turns into 15, 20, 30...once the sun really starts coming out I'm sure I'll be able to get back into my 8am wakeup time, ha ha.
