“Whether it’s to pay off bills, plan a vacation or help with those home improvements, It get us in the mode of forward thinking,” she said.
7. Start a project
A fun project to look into is getting out the photo albums and going through old pictures. It can spark a trip down memory lane and get the mind off of the weather.
It’s a good time to organize photos, put photos in albums or transfer photos to new albums.
8. Embrace the snow
Carper said another thing to remember is we live in a place where we have winters.
“We need to embrace that idea,” she said. “If the temperature gets to be around 20 degrees, there is not a thing wrong with going out and taking a walk in the snow.”
There’s also a lot of snow-related sports to try out — skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing, snowboarding or sledding.
Take a camera or a pair of binoculars, and see what’s out there.
“We have to remind ourselves the winter is temporary. Try thinking about the positives. We live in a farming area and have to appreciate all the snow that will create more moisture for our farmers and their crops,” she said.
