Tip for Grievers #20

Gather by the hearth of your comfort shows.

I've spent an incredible amount of time this past 10 months watching Jeeves and Wooster, Poirot, Miss Marple, Big Bang Theory, Schitt's Creek, as well as old movies that make me feel whole. High Society, Pillow Talk, Bird Cage, and so many other films that make me laugh, smile, and sing along. Did I mention almost anything with Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, and Doris Day?

I found this really helpful when I was depressed in Chicago. And it's especially true as we enter winter, with colder temperatures, rain, snow (if you're lucky), and other mucky weather.

I think we tend to be more solitary as the night comes earlier.

So entertainment that fills you up with goodness is nourishing for your soul. For me, that means nothing depressing and nothing scary. Shows I can lose myself in.

You, on the other hand, might revel in slasher movies, rip your heart out by the heartstrings movies, and ponderous documentaries. Do what makes you feel better. That's really what this is all about.
