out of the darkness

daylight savings time has returned. it has taken me a little time to readjust to it but i'm getting there. the best part is the extra daylight at the end of the day. i don't think most people realize the effect of the darkness of winter on their moods. for me it is horrible. once the days begin getting shorter the dread begins building. and when time falls back it is even worse. instant darkness. and the days grow shorter and shorter until the solstice. my body feels the solstice. it knows when the longest day of darkness occurs. after that the darkness (and my winter blues) slowly begin to recede.


so the past couple of weeks have been spent absorbing as much of this extra light as i can. i love it.
