I have a confession to make: I am light affected. The last several days have been gray. Endlessly, monotonously gray, in fact. I felt like my entire body had been slathered in a funky goo that left me unable. to move. or think. properly. Today the sun is shining. Brightly. And I am alive again. Fully functioning, even.
I did not used to be so terribly bothered by what was going on outside. But these days, I am obsessed. I blame it on Stockholm. The crazy extremes of light and dark leave me crazy. If I move somewhere else, will I be normal again? Or will I be forever addicted?

Oh me too! So much me too! I’ve been reduced to timing when it gets dark just to remind myself it’s getting a little bit later each night…
Sandy, I feel this too — though your case is certainly worse because of your latitude. Winter has been endlessly g.r.a.y. Yesterday and today are cold but sunny, and the light just makes a world of difference on my frame of mind. Hang in there — the Equinox is coming!
Thanks Bryn. And you hang in there too. We’ve at least got plenty of snow on the ground here, which helps the gray seem not quite so gray.
Ohio girl, the change in the light is amazing, isn’t it?
You will feel loads better in May!
Thanks MB. Let’s hope so!
