The Sun Came Out

Oh, there is nothing like being in Ohio in the middle of January when snow covers the ground, it's been gray for weeks and suddenly the bright rays of sun peek out. I go digging for my sunglasses and open all the blinds. While I probably don't have full-fledged SAD, I do feel so much better when the sun shines. My inner dialogue switches from being punctuated with gloomy ellipses to perky explanation points. I start to do things again - vacuum, write, repot all the plants in my house, cook, smile and otherwise enjoy my life.
