I'm sorry, Wren.
Remember the sun will shine again and that's for real and also metaphorically.

I feel very fortunate to live in a climate where there is no real winter and even if it rains for months it's still warm and it's not freezing cold and hard to get around to do things. I think if I lived in a temperate zone, I'd be feeling blue for half the year.

I was reading some posts this past week about Seasonal Affective Disorder and also about the light therapy that is being used to help combat the seasonal blues. I know mrsD has a light visor and I was reading some research online about how effective they can be for so many people when it's cold and dark for so long.

Take care there Wren. Let us know how you're doing.
