Wow, how time flies! Doesn't it seem like only a few weeks ago we were carving pumpkins in mid-October? And here we are in 2011; Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas and New Years all behind us. I know the post-holiday season can invoke the "holiday blues" and I hope that by posting today I can motivate you to get outdoors and enjoy the brisk days of winter. Yes, I said outdoors! Did you know that as of today 48 of our 50 states has snow on the ground? A sign a globing warming I suppose, but don't let that keep you huddled up indoors.
Think about all of the fun you can have nestled next to a warm fire pit with the ones most important to you, roasting marshmallows, sharing funny memories, and creating new ones too. All you need is a fire pit or portable campfire, some wood for burning, marshmallows, and your favorite grilling food if desired. Step back and take a deep breath. Feels great, doesn't it? Just because there's a chill in the air, and the trees are bare spending some quality time outdoors can have some surprising benefits. Spending time outside during the winter months can keep your bones strong, can trigger vitamin D production in the skin, and can drastically improve your mood by improving your self-esteem and improving your sense of well-being.
So why waste another minute suffering from the winter blues? Fire up the portable campfire or fire pit and get outdoors for some summertime fun in the wintertime.
