Grey Days

Ice Float
January 15, 2010

Many people living in northern areas have problems with the almost endless grey days of winter, normally referred to as the winter blues. Some are so debilitated that it becomes a disorder known as SAD (seasonal affective disorder) that results in depression they need special lights and/ordrug and/or cognitive-behavioural therapy. Like many the grey days do affect me especially when there are days on end of the greyness as pictured but I have a lot of ways of dealing with the winter blues. The sun is coming out more now chasing the grey away causing the water to appear a deep turquoise and the snow to sparkle. It's enought to brighten the foulest of moods! We can already notice the days getting longer. Before we know it the endless grey days will be gone until late next fall :)
