Solutions for the Winter Blues
If you live in the North Eastern part of the US you probably share the sentiment that I have been hearing a lot from people, which is “I’m so done with winter”! Every year about this far into the grey winter I start to lose my patience with it all. There is a new 4 letter word that begins with “S” in my book, snow. Maybe if we all stop staying that word and instead say spring we might get just that.
My solution to the winter time blues is to get a happy green flowering plant and keep in my kitchen where I can look at and remember spring is coming. Plants have many health benefits and have even been proven to lighten your mood. They filter the air we breathe and since our house has been locked down tight all winter they will help get rid of germs and that may linger.
I keep my plants safe from my cats by using a protective cage which is also decorative, or a glass terrarium. There more green plants around the better you can feel. I invite you to experience a little spring indoors with a few plants of your own.
