I am still just amazed at this weather.  Today it is 43 out... for half way through Feb?  Crazy!!!!  I'm not complaining, I really love it is warm, but it is so strange, it is throwing me off as to what time of year it really is.  I think it is really doing a lot for everyone's mood too. 

I had gotten some free samples of vitamin D, and being I suffer with SADS, and February being my worst month for my depression, I am taking it now.  I haven't felt depressed at all though.  Having the California trip to work on, and gearing up for aux pioneering I think has helped as well.  Although, maybe the vitamin D is helping too. 

Ok, funny thing, I don't know how many times medical staff (dr. nurse) have asked me what SADS is.  How can they not know?  Once I start to tell them... they all say, "oh, yeah yeah yeah".  If you don't know, it is Seasonal Affect Disorder Syndrome.  Which means, if I don't get enough sunlight, I get very seriously depressed.  With even thoughts of suicide, (but for me only thoughts, never attempted)  I've had this since I was a teenager.  I didn't know I had it, I just would always put on shorts and a tank top in the winter and sit in front of the window with the most sunshine.  It wasn't until I was older that I knew what I did was to word off depression.  To me, I just knew I needed the sun.

The other thing that helps, I like mentioned before is to keep my mind busy and off myself.  What is that scripture that says, "the one isolating themselves will seek their own selfish longing". .. well, it's so true for me.  If I don't make an effort to think about others, I just think about myself and drop into a "poor poor me" stage, and with that, I blame everyone else for my lot in life and don't take responsibility for myself.  so so so dumb!!!!!! 

So I'm loving the sunshine and enjoying working out!
