So the holiday rush is over, and the New Year has came. And you begin to feel yourself—Let down..and missing the holiday spirit all over again. We all wait so anxiously for the glorious time of year when the Christmas spirit is high in the air, and everybody just seems more cheerful. Family comes around that we haven’t seen in awhile, and we get to eat all of the yummy food and those favorite recipes we have been craving all year-

Suddenly-it all comes crashing to a dead hault, and the holidays are just “done.” -OVER.

We find ourselves in a slump, especially if we have been on vacation and we have to head back to the daily grind of life, work, and taking the kids back to school again. Life begins, and all is boring again-or maybe it isn’t.

It’s easy to fall into some kind of after holiday depression and blues, but you can prevent it from happening…..

—Here are some things to do to ring in the new year—and not be blue.

• * Spend time with those that you love such as close friends and family. Be with them when you can. Don’t just visit around the holidays. Keep the spirit alive all year, by keeping in contact. Get and feel connected. Even when life seems too busy.

• *Pick up that new book you have been wanting to read, or find a great new book to read. Get away to another time, place, or world, and read. If you can’t read during the day, take some time before bed time and read. Go to bead 30-45 minutes earlier, and pick up a book.  If you can’t physically get away-you can mentally go somewhere else and relax…

• *Get interested in a new hobby for the new year. Start a cookbook filled with your favorite recipes. Start that scrapbook you have been talking about. Get the children involved so they can help too. Perhaps by next Christmas, family members might just want some copies!…

• *Write down your goals or expectations for the new year and make a point for at least 1 or 2 of them to come true. Keep the goals easy enough to where you can accomplish them.  There’s nothing better than finishing something that you have been wanting to do for a long time….

Don’t fall into a post holiday rut…. Get back into life-not into the daily drag.  Life can stay spirited all year long-as long as you make it that way
