😊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.  😉

🎄🎄🎄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?

🌰🍗This and that🍗🌰

 Have used a tablet case forever.  The other day, I took it off.  I prefer using it, without the old floppy case.  It's not in much danger, because I use it in the same place, when sitting in my comfy chair.  Or at kitchen table, rarely, but where I am now.    Actually composing this post.

 

My usual blogging spot is at my old computer.  It's really so old, that I try to save it, when I can.  If I can compose on my tablet, and then put pictures in, at my computer, it saves some use, on my ollllldddddd lMac.

Hope you have all your plans set  for Thanksgiving.  Here luckily, all we have to do is show up.   Family is doing the rest.   At our age  that's very nice.  :-))))

Cold weather is truly here.  Brrrrrr....   But more seasonable, than those warm temps.  

And all the landscape is mostly a dull brown.  Which can be a bit depressing.  I always think of a witch/artist, who said she finds the muted colors of November, to be calming.  I haven't been able to convince myself of this.  How about you? Can you find November's dull colors, to be calming?

💛🍁💛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.

💛🍁🍂Do you consider...?🍂🍁💛

 -smile-

Have you ever started to write something to post...  Thinking of your lovely Dear Readers...   And stopped!

Realizing that your posts do not just show, to your lovely Dear known Readers...    But rather, to all the world, who is on the World Wide Net.

-sigh-  It can make one not wish to share certain things, thoughts, happenings.

But then, an awful lot of Bloggers, do not ever consider this.   They share many daily happenings, their regular weekly/monthly happenings and 'goings,' etc., etc., etc.

I really do not like to enumerate the patterns of my life.  Someone who knows your hourly, or daily, or weekly, or monthly patterns, knows way tooooo much about you.

Your turn...

What say you...?

Please and thank you.

😊🎃😊Lamp🎃Don't😊🎃😊

So many cute Halloween images...  So little time....

My olddddddd floor lamp, by my chair, fell apart.  So, we had to go out early and find a replacement.  Did...  It sits in the car trunk, until a "Grandson" gets home from school and brings it in for us.  🎃

Awwww, what a cute ghost...  😊

We don't get candy, or turn lights on for Halloween, any more.  No little kids in neighborhood now.  And it is not a neighborhood, where little kids are brought by their parents, to trick or treat. 🎃   So that's in the past.  🎃🎃🎃🎃    Do you have a lot of trick or treaters in your neighborhood?

After cloudy and shower-y days/nights, today the sun is out and blue skies too!  In fact, it is warm and rather humid.  Hard to know how to dress.

But tonight is supposed to be clear, and it will get cold.  With clear skies at night, the day's heat rises and dissipates and the temps fall.  More seasonal...

If you DOOOO Halloween, I hope you are ready.  😊🎃😊

🌰🎃🌰Eeek! Nov. is coming!🌰🎃🌰

It's really time for these cute illustrations...  Of little animals, being all cozy and warm.   Because November is coming fast!!!!

November is a hard month to love.  That's why I have my favorite October quote, at the bottom of this post.  Again....   Only have a few more days, to keep this, as my mindset.

Does coming November, kind of put a damper on your mood?  If so, how do you plan on overcoming it? 

But we do still have Halloween fun, to enjoy.  So ought to concentrate on that, and get some candy corn, if we don't have it already!!!!
