Looking for a new direction

I'm wrestling with the winter doldrums...it's a combination of cold and gray with a large dose of frustration at being unable to find a job. It is hard to see the bright side of the inevitable swing of the pendulum...surely the sun will come out again, I'll be able to pay the mortgage and all will be well with the world. ... right?

Some antidotes: draw and paint in my journal everyday.
Dance at least once a week.
Plan a trip for something to look forward to.

Any other suggestions?
