"Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until I gasp for breath". Laughter may be the best medicine and all that, but please don't overdo it! ;-) Grannymar - is that you I can hear laughing from here?

“Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until I gasp for breath”.

Laughter may be the best medicine and all that, but please don’t overdo it! ;-)

I do not suffer from SAD, I am just a sad person! :lol: 2007 was a very emotional year on many levels and I think I let it get on top of me a little. I should have saved that place for a Toyboy ;) Yesterday and today I threw open every window in the house to clear out the gloom. Today there is some bright object out there in the sky and with only 7°C I have closed the windows and put the heat back on. Now for some exercise - find a funny blog to read.

It's thought to be caused by lowered levels of seratonin whose levels rise on sunny days. You're doing the right thing putting the lights on and step outside when the bleakness lifts!

I am a very positive person, my glass is half full.... Well it was a few minutes ago. Which of you chairs emptied that glass?!!! ;) Gary, if I could walk at a speed to keep warm that would be fine.

See - there's a positive in everything :) Have a great 2008 ...

When the day becomes (did I really say becomes?) monochrome I start to shiver so I close up the curtains and switch on plenty of bright lights. This year seems to have been grey constantly for months.</p> Steph, Thank you.

Ian,
I agree with you about the greyness. When the day becomes (did I really say becomes?) monochrome I start to shiver so I close up the curtains and switch on plenty of bright lights. This year seems to have been grey constantly for months.

I know a woman who lived in Canada for thirty years who complains about the darkness here. It isn't the short days that are the problem, it is the constant greyness, she was used to the brilliant snow-reflected sunshine of Ontario. We get much more overcast weather than in the past - how many sharp, clear winter nights have we had in the past couple of months? Grannymar,
