Are You S.A.D.

(bear with me, the question mark on my laptop is on strike...)
Has winter got her grip on you. Longing for a warm sunny paradise. Feeling tired and moody. Perhaps what you're experiencing are symptoms of Seasonal affective disorder (also called SAD), a type of depression which is quite common this time of year.. many suffer these symptoms never realizing their true root cause (.. I wouldn't be surprised if a vast number of people are incorrectly diagnosed with a psychological disorder and put on a daily dose of venom from the big pharm prescribed by those doctors who have an attitude of indifference towards their patients [same thing probably happens in the cause of hormone fluctuations and changes in both men and women... but that's another story for a different day.) Many manufactures have profited from SAD, selling 'happy lights' and such, however, a quick fix maybe all which you need. Try picking up some low watt 'grow bulbs' from your local home improvement store. Typically you'll find them in 60watt bulbs. You can pick up grow bulbs which can replace just about every type of current lighting you have, even the long, tube type florescent. You'll discover that it's an economical alternative to those 'happy lights'. An additional benefit is being able to surround yourself with houseplants even in a home which gets little natural light. If you're getting spring fever try taking a nature walk to collect budding branches from a variety of trees and bushes. As each bud opens it's a little gift from God, a special little surprise.. each bud opening into a unique burst of bright spring-time green. (you might even get lucky and find some wild pussy willows which will root.. for you, giving you something wonderful to enjoy for years to come.) * If you have tips and tricks of your own that you would like to share on this blog please send via comment to me ( all comments are reviewed by me before approving for posting so if you would like your information posted but not your comment please let me know and I'll put into my own words before adding to a post.) Hope this tip brings Happy Thoughts and gets the ball rolling for your own creative solutions to savor the seasons!
