Apart from the early brief blaze from dying leaves, the landscape looks rather drained of color. Once summer is over, the view from many windows becomes rather monochrome and shades of brown predominate. Green is less prevalent and vibrant. Yellows, reds and blues air almost non existent in the countryside and garden during winter. There is evidence that the site of yellow and red trigger mood boosting changes in our neuro transmitters. So it is little wonder that many people experience less joie de vive during the winter months. Danish winters are especially long with sunlight, a rare commodity. But rather than experiencing a nationwide dingy gloom that might be expected in such a dark season, ah, sort of joy descends on the country during winter. Sugar is coziness, candlelight nature, a meeting and eating with friends. In the last two years, it has become a bit of a trend, but there is a word to denote this feeling of cozy well being in many countries. In Germany, the McLeish type means warms, good cheer and belonging. In Sweden game Italy is the equivalent term, and the Italian word for this feeling, often used in winter is commodity. There is no exact equivalent in English. But the feelings described by the words above are very familiar. In recent years, I discovered that crafts and creativity have helped replace the spring in my step and bring her get into even the jury ist winter days. I started an online creative diary in 2000 and eight, noticed that I felt something less than an irascible, hibernating bear on days when I have made something by hand or baked, and that this effect was especially noticeable during winter. Ah, year or two later, I learned to Cochet, began to meet with friends once a week for needle arts and cake and discovered that this was a source of solace. In the long winter evenings, I found myself reacting. I found myself reaching from my crushing on especially jury days on that the repetitive, aesthetically pleasing process of making loops and two stitches, which grew into soft blankets and scarves, absorbed my mind and lifted my mood. Baking a cake would bring a feeling of well being that seemed to counter the flat fatigue that lurks during the greatest of days. My anecdotal findings that creative activity can lift mood during winter and beginning, Thio are beginning to be supported by scientific research. It seems that needle arts can lead to a relax ation or meditation like response similar to that induced by yoga. And one study has shown that meditation increases the levels of dopamine, another neurotransmitter that is associated with elevated mood.
