A Good Morning So Far

[stormdog]

Kenosha, WI has 9 hours and 3 minutes of daylight today and the sun rises at 7:15. Amsterdam has 7'40" and the sun doesn't rise until quarter to 9. We are north!

As far as I know I do not have SAD, but I wonder if this change has maybe a little to do with my mental health.

That said, I am up at 5 in the morning and I feel great. I took all of our garbage out and enjoyed the four or five trips up and down three flights of stairs to our unit. Then I worked on Dutch with Duolingo for a bit (I started that yesterday after many months away) and am now playing music.

I wish I could feel like this more often.

I don't (I think) suffer from SAD either, but this time of year can get hard even in normal times. There are reasons why Christmas is bad as you know, but it becomes general around the shortest day- perhaps the Romani in me craves the sun?
