Worth The Weight
The past few months have been a trying time in two ways: first, in the basic sense, i.e. itβs been stressful; and second, in that, itβs been a time for trying new things to keep yourself from going stir crazy.
Maybe youβve baked more. Maybe youβve cooked more meals at home. Maybe youβve walked more. Maybe youβve done some home renovation or redecorating projects. Maybe you started a garden. Maybe you put up feeders and got birding book. Point is, youβve been throwing the metaphorical spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks for a while now.
And thatβs great. Youβve taken a difficult time and found some personal enrichment. The problem? Itβs not over.
So we say: new year, new approach.
The flour, the walking shoes, the paint, the spackle, the trowel, the binocularsβtake them all and shove them in the closet. Then, turn on some British reality television, lay down on the couch, pull your Sharper Image Plush Velveteen Weighted Blanket over yourself, and do like the bears do this time of year: hibernate.
Okay, weβre exaggerating here. But the point stands, after 2020, everyone deserves a little extra relaxation. And what better way to relax than under the soothing heft of a comfy weighted blanket?
