😊Hibernating Mode😊

guess i should give up on having all of my post, centered.  i click on centered and they come out, to the left, like a regular book print.

there are bloggers who claim that this is the easiest to read anyway.

 this week between christmas and new years, is *supposed* to be quiet, with no *to do list*.  but it didn't work out this way, this year.  -sigh-  but i certainly plan on beginning january/february, *deep winter*, with as much hibernation mode as possible.

 nature is sleeping, at this time of year.  many animals are hibernating.  it is cold, with long nights and a general feeling of "going within" as much as possible.  🏡   of being snug in our homes.  and having soups and stews simmering on the stove.  hot chocolate if one can have it.   good books to read, snuggled in one's favorite comfy chair, with a warm 'throw' over your legs.   etc.  etc.  etc.

 i know, people still have to go out to work, and we all have work to do, around the home.  but if we can keep the hibernate attitude in our heads and hearts, even when out, or busy.....    and if we decline any invites which we really don't want to participate in, we can more easily slip back into a quiet mood, when work and home duties are done.

 i know some do this every year.  but if you haven't really tried this before, perhaps you would consider it?  it's a way to more enjoy this cold, dark season of the year.  if we look on it, as a time to bring ourselves quiet, time for ourselves, coziness and self nurturing....  wouldn't that go a long way, to banish the winter blahhhhhhhhhs?  😊 

if you have any resources on this topic of winter hibernation, would you please share them?  i can always use more!

some of my paragraphs are centered and some are not, at least now, before i publish.  ???????????

🎄So happy...🎄

 So happy that many Dear Readers also enjoy the Hibernation Feeling of deep Winter.

Again, I have made my print the largest I can, to make it more readable on my screen.  Perhaps a bit too large.   Do hope you can adjust the size, which shows on your screen.  It's very easy on my new Mac laptop.  Just click on "command" key and on "+" key.   And to make it look smaller, click on command and "minus" key.

Same for my illustrations from Pinterest.  I'm making them Very Large.  I always love big pics, on blogs.  😊

Going to be looking for reading, which is in the Deep Winter Hibernation theme.  If you know of any, please share.

And maybe blogs, which delve into this, at this time of year.  Guess slow living blogs would be a good place to look.

Btw, that click-able link yesterday, which *wasn't*....  It came to me later!!!  Duhhhh!!!!  You use a *little thingy* right up on top of where you compose your post!!!

🎄

I simply need to calm down, when trying to post and etc.  😉

🎄The Eve of Winter Solstice🎄

 

Happy Eve of Winter Solstice to you!!!

It is the celebration of The Return of Light.

Winter Solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year.  From now on, the sun will begin to shine longer and longer, day by day.   People who suffer from SAD, should love this celebration.

  For myself, I find longer evenings and nights, to be cozy.  In fact, I am happy that this time of year, also ushers in deep winter.  Because I love this time, when Nature is hibernating.  I like to adapt a form of hibernation for myself.  Keep warm.  Hunker down.  Take time for introspection.   Quiet reading and etc.

 https://thesmallestlight.co.uk/blog-posts/how-to-celebrate-winter-solstice/  is a link to lovely reading on this topic.   Sorry I can't do a click-able link yet.

Btw,  that link is also the source of my post illustrations today.

🎄🎄🎄GAF🎄🎄🎄

Have you found the "GAF" Ch.?  "Great American Family" Ch. that is.

🎄

It's producing Holiday Movies, in competition with the long time major Holiday Movie maker, Hallmark.

🎄

It's concentrating on the Old Fashioned Vision of Christmas, something which has nearly vanished from television.

 🎄

 

When Candace Cameron Burr spoke of why she moved to GAC Ch....  Of course she got in major trouble.   Many other celebrities were displeased with her statement.  

At this present time, no one is allowed to state any view, which does not agree with the "Woke" View.

That is the plain truth.

If you disagree with any of the "Woke" Views, you will be Cancelled.

🎄~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🎄

Actually, I do not follow any Religion.  Nor do I tell other people, whom they can love.  I'm rather Libertarian...

🎄~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🎄

But I also like to watch Christmas movies, which show the Old Fashioned View of Christmas.  Just me, just my choice.  So I welcome The Great American Christmas Ch.

🎄~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🎄

Our Cable Co. happens to carry it.  But there are other ways to see it.....

🎄~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🎄

Have you watched it?

Are you going to?

 What do you think?

🔥🌲📕Already turning...🔥🌲📕

Per usual, I'm ready to turn the calendar page, even before a Holiday is over.  😊   So my Header changed, the morning of Thanksgiving.  

 

My mind turns to the coming season of snow and snuggling inside.  

Nature is very dull at the end of November.   We need a bit of snow, to perk the outdoors up.   Well, up in the North, that is.

And definitely need some whimsey!!!   A LOT of WHIMSEY!!!!

💛🍁💛Merci, and other stuff💛🍁💛

Thank you for all the views, in your comments, on my last post.  I love to throw out an idea/view/whatever...  And get other people's views.  😊

We are each unique, which is wonderful!!!!  And our views on things, are also unique.  Super!!!

Do you have something you would love to ask?  If so, please do!!!!  It's fun.  😄

This next, will get me in a lot of **trouble** with a lot of Dear Readers....  😆

Hooray!

We are back on Nature's Time!!!!!!

SEEEEEEE ?????????

Big difference of opinions on this topic!!!

To me, early evenings are cozy, at this time of year.  Now is when Nature is putting the earth to sleep, for the Winter months.  So earlier evenings are natural, to me.   Cozy, with warm lighting, and something simmering on the stove, and comfy throw-blankets around on the furniture.  Candles maybe...

Now it's your turn!!!!   Please give your views, on turning the clocks back, to Nature's time.  And what goes with it.
