It
has finally snowed enough to cover everything in a white blanket and
bring a halt to lots of activities for a couple of days in the
East.
This
winter has been pretty temperate until now around here.
Even
the last couple of weeks of frigid temps have not been too bad
because the sun was still shining most of the
time
The winter blahs
can still get us all down though, and we need to work a little
harder to keep our spirits up.
I am fortunate that my local library has a
reading room complete with large windows that look out on a garden
and a fireplace that is ablaze on these cold
days.
What
a delightful place to gather some
inspiration!
Even if the
library near you is not as comfy, it can still offer a plethora of
ideas and new directions.
Spending a couple of hours just browsing through a
section that interests you can provide many resources, angles, and
tidbits of knowledge that will fuel the pursuit of your
dream.
Or go to the
local book store for a while and just allow yourself some time to
leaf through lots of the new magazines, or look through books in the
self-help, career, or marketing categories.
You will be amazed at what you can
learn.
Just
one new idea might be enough to send you home with renewed
enthusiasm.
I recently
pulled It's Only Too Late if You Don't Start Now by Barbara
Sher off the shelf and was glancing through it when I saw this
quote, (pg
90)
Time is
clay.
Make
something.
That one is now front and center on my inspiration
board!
Lighten your winter blahs with a field trip
this month. Make something with just an hour of time.
