Reflections

PUBLISHED BY REFLECTIONS RESOURCES, LTD  Winter, 2008

Working with schools, organizations and parents  to reflect on and improve the quality of career, relationships and life transitions.

Enjoying Endless Winter

Well, there is a concept! In the midwest, anyway, it has been spurt after spurt of below zero temperatures. This can put the most cheerful person into the dumps quick. 

So, what do we do about it? We obviously cannot change the outside so that means we have to change the inside. In this case, inside means our thought patterns and attitudes. ( I am anxious to see what I write next as the winter has been getting to me!)

What would be antidotes to this weather!

Following are twenty five words to spark us all into a better frame of mind:

  1. Music
  2. Laughter
  3. Light
  4. Sleep
  5. Reading
  6. Conversation
  7. Smiles
  8. E-mail
  9. Breathing
  10. Exercise
  11. Colors
  12. Haircut
  13. Lotion
  14. Photos
  15. Fire
  16. Scrapbooks
  17. Learning
  18. Water
  19. Daydreaming
  20. Birds
  21. Drawing
  22. Whistling
  23. Knit
  24. Stretching
  25. Scenery.

This is what I came up with- what would your list look like?
