Yesterday was the 1st day of spring and I’m glad to welcome the new season.  I live in the Northeast so don’t complain about the cold and snow because it comes with the territory and I even like the weather sometimes.  However, at the end of February and beginning of March I find myself getting the winter blues.  The thought of hot sand and sunshine is never far from my mind.

I really do think the cloudy and gray days result in a dampened mood because when the sun peeks through, my mood brightens.  All of these mood fluctuations are new to me because I never paid attention before so I’m experimenting to see what affects it.  I am surprised at how much affects mood and am amazed at how oblivious I was to it all.
