Happy New Year to you and your family, Christine! It has been several years since I've made New Year's resolutions. I became tired of disappointing myself and not following through. There is enough in life to discourage us or make us feel as if we've failed yet again, so why continue to make resolutions that we most likely won't succeed in? I love winter here in central Arizona! We do have a few cloudy days, but nothing that most people think of as "winter" so we sail through very happily after enduring our scorching summers. I'm a bright colors gal, so your red suit is something I would have immediately gravitated towards! Bright colored clothes energize me and make me feel alive. I'm looking forward to another year of your wisdom and positivity! Stay safe and healthy!
I agree Marti - setting yourself up for disappointment is not the way to go! Is it hot through the winter too in Arizona? We did an amazing drive from Yosemite - Las Vegas - Grand Canyon. Would I have been anywhere near you? You are one of my champions Marti and I appreciate you sooooo much. All the very best to you and yours for 2024. x
It isn't hot during the winter, but very pleasant temperatures in the 50s and 60s F. Sometimes even in the low 70s F. I'm so happy that you were able to visit the Grand Canyon! That is about a four hour drive north from where I live. I would have LOVED to have met you there and share some tea while we take in the beauty of the Canyon! By the way, I haven't found a satisfying hot cocoa in all my searching. Ever. I'll know it if and when I ever taste it and will let you know!@@HAPPYSTUFFANDFLUFF
It sounds lovely Marti (though I do enjoy the cold and snow which we are apparently due this week!) Yes I would love to come back to the Grand Canyon we were unable to spend as much time we would have liked. LOL yes the hunt for a good hot chocolate goes on!
Happy new year Christine, it’s an effort to get motivated some days, even getting out of bed when you can hear the rain on the window, my New Years resolution was to get up at 8am and make the most of the day, not working so far, I always feel better when I’m outside, especially walking the dog who gets so excited and loves her walkies, thankyou for all your motivational videos, much appreciated, Best wishes, Lisa
Hi Lisa - this is the perfect example. How much more difficult to get out of bed earlier when it is dark and raining outside. Self compassion here Lisa - try getting up just 5 minutes earlier and build on that as the mornings gradually get lighter and lighter. Great to have a dog to get you outdoors. Thank you so much for your comment and all the very best for 2024 x PS If you haven't already please go the community page here www.youtube.com/@HAPPYSTUFFANDFLUFF/community to let me know what you might like me to cover in the the new year.
Do you often feel gloomy and tired during the winter months?
