Isn’t October just the coziest month? The weather’s not quite freezing yet but it’s not so warm you can get through the evenings without a snuggly sweater or a pair of thick socks. I love this time of year and relish family movie nights cuddled under a blanket (we just watched Jurassic World Falling kingdom last night). 
But if you are anything like me, the fall and winter months call for not only family time and good carb loaded traditional foods, but it also calls for the fall blues. 
I don’t know what it is, the early dark evenings, the cold, the lack of children playing outdoors, I’m not sure, but I feel it. I feel it as soon as October hits. I do think I suffer from anxiety, and I say I think because I never really have seen someone about it, but the end of the year brings me more darkness to my days. There are days I feel lonely, even though I have my two children fighting over the TV, Legos, and playdoh. I Feel like I want to cry for no real reason. I feel like I’m tired and sleepy all the time. I literally want to be in flannel PJs and lounge around all day. I find no motivation. Please tell me, I’m not alone. 
​
There are three things I hope to tackle this fall to try to avoid the Fall blues, if you have any other ideas, please let me know, it will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and please don’t ask me to try the Green stuff. LOL

1. Write more. Whether it be Journaling or blogging I hope to put my thoughts in to paper or screen in this case lol
2. Take more pictures and develop them. In this day in age, no one visit the Walgreens photo center any more lol but i promise I will be back, I’ll maybe visit Costco though Ha!
3. Hit the weights. I’ve been MIA from the gym this summer due to my husband’s busy work schedule, I have taken over all household and children duties, so as soon as he has his life back, I will be visiting the gym.

XOXO
