This winter has not been to bad in our area of New York, if of course you are not into snow to begin with. This year we are in an apartment but when I had my house and all of the gardens during the winter I would go to the library and take out books about flowers and plants then in a journal write down ideas I had for planting my gardens in the spring. Also to get thru winter a little easier we have tropical night. Especially on those really cold ,blustery night we get out all of the vacation videos disney and places sent to us , I have a video from a trip to maui and a taping of one of the home and family show episodes when they went to the sheriton maui. My daughter and i get out the fancy glasses and umbrellas for the drinks pour some pop into them and let the videos take us away to someplace warm for a while. Make plans in a diary or journal of all of the family trips, day trips etc you hope to do when the weather gets nice again . Let yourself daydream about spring and summer and it doesnt seem so far away. If you have younger kids spread out a blanket and have a picnic in the living room , let the kids set up a tent with a blanket and two chairs I am sure they feel shut it as well and it is just something fun to do while you patiently wait for spring to come.
