The Winter Blues
You can beat it!
Remember the days when you used to crave more time to have fun, engage in a hobby or play with your family? That was probably before COVID when we could actually do things outside of the house. Since COVID, I have seen incredible ingenuity for ways to entertain ourselves and our families in activities or hobbies in the home.

Here are some ideas to help spur or renew your creativity:
- Write a song
- Visit a museum (online)
- Learn Origami
- Try whittling
- Teach your pet new tricks
- Learn how to do magic
Not surprisingly, YouTube is a great source for “How To” videos for each of these ideas, and in particular, Kevin Lee makes magic tricks super easy. Enjoy!
(Note: If any of you actually try any of these new hobbies, please send us a video so we can celebrate you!)
