The long nights of winter are starting to settle in. It always blows my mind that the longest day of the year is the first day of summer, not the middle. And here in the far east of the United States, darkness settles in a bit earlier than I would want! By 3:30, darkness is approaching and by 4:30, it is already dark out.

 Things get tiresome in the dark, but I am trying to keep myself out of the SAD and into the light this year. I’ve installed new lights in my office that are in the solar spectrum, in an attempt to lighten my mood (get it? Lighten? HA HA HA HA HA, man I am pathetic). I am also making myself get a walk in once a day during the light, even if it is a cold rainy or snowy day (not much snow yet)

I am looking forward to this winter. I want to have a good year and I want to learn how to really fight the depression this year.

Coming up : Class photos! I may post them soon!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Friends!
