Joan Laufer “i do a lot of things—out to dinner, and plays, shopping, see my friends—I don’t focus on the stock market. I do household projects, prepare my good will bags.”

What do you do to beat the

January blues?

Miriam Gonzalez “I trust in God for life, for things. In my work, I enjoy listening to people and sharing with them and their concerns. I like to life up their hopes.”

Alex Gomes “The way I beat the winter blues is try to keep myself busy fixing things around the house such as building shelves and cabinets. I really miss fishing which is a love of mine so I view it on the internet and it calms me.”

Kathy Williams “”I beat the January blues by making sure that I paid all my bills at the beginning of January and then I don’t have any January blues.”

Michael Alger “It’s simple really, I find something interesting to do and keep myself busy. It works for me every time.”

Gennifer Cross “I find it is a time to re-focus, try to take a vacation, meditate, keep a clear head and get involved in extra curricular activity like exercise.”
