As I age, I don’t endure the cold as well as I used to, so I always look forward to afternoon sunshine to warm me up, and miss it greatly when it is cloudy and especially when cloudy and winter go together.
Get your self a good old-fashioned hot water bottle. I have one with a flannel cover. It helps soooo much when there is a storm coming in, and in the winter time.
I can’t praise this thing enough. Lay it on top of, sit on it, lay on it, hold it on a painful spot. Just adjust the amount of water and it is easier to “form” it the best way to relieve pain and stiffness/soreness.
