I Saw The Light

A  L  O  H  A !
"I decided to fly 
through the air and 
live in the sunlight and 
enjoy life as 
much as I could."
                      Evel Knievel

system of the face. . ."

"How beautifully 
leaves grow old. 
How full of light 
and color are 
their last days."

In Wintertime, Honolulu
too wakes in the dark.
But then the sun,
the subtropical sun,
asserts itself.
And it is balmy.

Here in Northern
California, waking
in the dark, the 
cold, the fog. . .

Well, the dark mornings
were bumming me out a bit.

So I bought a light box
for the treatment of 
I knew from the research
that it could help.
But I had no idea
how dramatic a 
change it can make!

Shining the light on my face
for a half hour in the 
dark morning
has made me feel
bubbly, light, and
full of light
for the rest of the day!

After a day at the beach
you can still see the
sun in your head
as you fall asleep.
This is like that.

I feel light inside
and notice light
everywhere outside.
I'm drawn to it;
and spending more
time outside in
the sun.

So word to the wise:
Give it a try.

I am using:
purchased at Amazon.com.

Thank YOU
for shining here!
          Fondly, cloudia

You are so right, that's the main reason why I dread this time of year, oh yeah the tundra temperatures and driving on icy roads and loads and more loads of snow to shovel not my happiest joys in life, but the sunlight can make such a major difference! Bring on the light! Enjoy your sunny day.

I find dark rainy days so depressing - maybe I need one of those boxes! ;-)
