I had such high hopes for me and my making, my productivity and creating. I was so enthused about my new plan for spending mornings in the studio. Then, SPLAT! I crashed back down to Earth. Then I got back up again.
I can tell that I'm already struggling with the winter blues. I've been monitoring my moods and rhythms. Mondays are good days for me. I start off the week just raring to go, then Tuesday comes. I will often be down on Tuesdays, with much less of the motivation and energy that I have on Mondays. I'm also much better in the mornings, and the more light there is. Late afternoons I start to get blue, and the same with dreary days. Another thing I notice, is I'll have a good day followed by a down day.
My hope is that by monitoring my energy levels I'll be able to go with the flow better, planning my daily activities accordingly. I still intend to start my days in the studio, but I want to go easy on myself if that doesn't work out. And it's not like I ever just sit and watch tv or stare off into space. I always am doing something, maybe just not the thing I planned.
Do you have a fabulous weekend planned? I'm going mattress shopping:) :) :) <----- very happy! Do you have any mattress advice for me?
I'll see you on Monday!

YES! Check out the TempurPedics. They are pricey, but absolutely worth it if you have arthritis. Which I have had for years. Prematurely. Thank you Gram Muriel.
I have a day of meetings tomorrow, but then we are headed to VT for snowshoeing, reading by the fire and relaxing for a few days. Love long weekends.
Have you thought about using full spectrum lights, Bobbi? They might help with your winter mood swings...
