I always find it a bit startling when Daylight Savings ends and it starts to get dark around 4:30 in the afternoon. So to help myself, and hopefully a few others, here are ten things to consider.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dark can be peaceful, even restful. Don’t fight it.<\/li>\n
  2. The mornings are bright and welcoming.<\/li>\n
  3. It could be time to get out those cozy blankets and throws.<\/li>\n
  4. Notice one thing that you like about dusk.<\/li>\n
  5. If you’re feeling sad about less outdoors time, start an indoor project.<\/li>\n
  6. Make soup–this almost always works for me–and share some with a neighbor.<\/li>\n
  7. Learn from animals–this photo of my dog, Rudy, says it all.<\/li>\n
  8. I know this sounds like a cliche, but light a candle and put on music you like.<\/li>\n
  9. Read a good book. If this hasn’t been something you’re already doing, visit your local library.<\/li>\n
  10. Hibernate–yes, I know we can’t really do that, but let your body adjust to a different time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
