Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog Day. For those who gauge the future by a groundhog, that was supposed to mean we were going to have six Bob Griffin more weeks of winter. For some, that might be a welcomed forecast. For others, the winter has dragged on long enough! So, as we turn the calendar to a new month in March, what are we to do? Glad you asked!

Our thoughts influence our emotional, physical, and spiritual health. You’ve probably heard of “the winter blues.” The winter blues is a real thing! In an article published on February 2nd
