Don't let the blues take over this month… Make it a season to celebrate and do fun things, instead. Pick up some ideas, add your own and get going.
Romancing the monsoon is great in fiction but in reality, we spend much of the season dealing with the messiness of it: The commuting delays, cleaning up chores and frayed tempers… and you begin to wonder why anyone looks forward to the season at all! This year, though, don't let logistics get in the way of savouring what can be turned into a special time. Go through this "Monsoon Celebration" list and choose to enjoy.
Indulge your green-thumb inclination, it's the season to do so. Make a trip to the nursery, coax your child to come along. He's going to enjoy the gardening, even if reluctant in the beginning.
Buy pots, soil mixes, fertilisers… the store owner will help you make your choice if you're a novice. Pick quick-growing plants and vegetables. Give each child a few plants as "their own" - plants that are completely their responsibility - and you'll find they'll take delight in every flower, every new leaf, every branch that wasn't there before.
