    For seasonal depression I recommend, fresh air walks everyday, vitamin d supplements (cause we don’t get enough) meditation music ❤Having a daily gratitude journal & listening to positive affirmations on RUclips. These are things that help me in the winter months. So lovely to see you getting your house all done up.

    I love a wood fireplace.. So comfy. The house has turned out beautifully. I'm proud of you to see how far you've grown in such a short amount of time. I feel the same way about winter and the loss of Summer. I always get a weird feeling when the cold starts rolling in. I don't like it. Then with the time changes it makes it worse. I need sun to stay up until 9pm every night...lol.

    I have chronic lyme disease, and friends like that are hard to come by. I am having an awful flare right now and am stuck on my couch, and watching your videos helps me feel calm..
    So, Thank you for making them!

    Man Stephi, When ever I feel down or depressed I can always watch one of your videos and get back on track. I never thought about myself being a plant, but I believe its really true. Somedays I feel droopy. Like today. I lost my neighbor of 8 years. So I am feeling down. I know he is in a better place. Then when I find out how to water myself.....bam. Im good till the next watering. You always give me reminders that I am still human and I need to take care of my spiritual life. Having a schedule is exactly what I need to organize the mess going round and round in my head. Thank You, Stephi... You have inspired me again.

    I love everything that you’re doing…it’s natural that you feel sad when you’ve lost someone so close like your mom and sometimes you feel the loss for many years especially in the holidays but it’s important to create new memories and traditions afterwards like decorating & cooking also special trips and concerts (for example going to a certain restaurant or show every holiday …like my friends order Chinese food every new years)to help make the holidays more enjoyable inspire of your loss. ❤

It’s easier to not compare yourself at different times of year, but at the holidays I’m always reminded of “family” and the lack there of and the trauma I had instead. It’s rough but thank you for saying you go through it too ❤

    The one, wonderful and magical thing about Winter... the snow covers up everything you didn't get done.
    Life is very simple... it's people which makes it complicated.
    Societal pressures
    Whatever you haven't gotten to, will be there in the Spring, and give you something to do... when it's warmer outside.
    Winter is time for inside stuff

    The house is looking better and better! Those lights really made a lot of difference.
    Fare well, sweet Henry. We barely knew thee.
    As for chopping firewood, pro tip: you _want_ a chopping block. Two reasons:
    * You'll get the logs you're chopping up from the ground a bit, which is very much more comfortable and makes the work less back-breaking (literally). The split logs will fall down from the chopping surface and out of your way.
    * Also, when you split a log, the axe will hit the chopping block instead of the ground, which means that you won't break the edge of the blade.
    I'd recommend getting a tree stump/log of about 2-3 feet in length, and maybe 1 1/2 foot wide, for best comfort.
    I have... _way_ more experience with chopping firewood than I like to think about, and that experience is currently useless to me, so I figured I might share some of it with you. That way at least someone will benefit from it.
    This stuff is obviously not impossible for you to figure out yourself, but there's no reason why you should "re-invent the wheel" if you don't have to.
