How to Stay Upbeat in February

Walter Trier [1]Today, I spoke to my brother who lives in New England. For decades this time of year, we’ve been having a similar conversation: I gloat about the high temps in California, and he tells me how much he enjoys the cold weather and the number of inches of snow accumulating on his roof. (Right now, there’s a foot.) But even my perpetually cheerful brother expressed his winter fatigue.

What are your strategies for staying upbeat in the cold?
