I've noticed everyone on here seems to be depressed today. I know that the pain from Fibro can make us depressed and so can the cold and winter cloudyness. i just wanted to share with you what I have been doing the last two mornings.
I have a chair that sits by the window and as the sun comes up it hits me right in the face. Since I'm in the house all toasty warm, I close my eyes and raise my head to the sun to soak up all the sunshine i can. I think I get about 30 min. worth before it gets behind the big tree. I think it has helped tremendously! Today I have really felt good, I mean I am actually happy feeling. I haven't felt happy in ages. So if you have a window and can put a chair and soak up the sun in the mornings please give it a try. I know I'M going to keep it up!! I honestly can't believe how uplifted my spirits are!!!
Love to all,
~dixie

Hi Dix,

The sun shines right in my window here at the computer every morning. It actually comes up out this side of the house:)

the last few days have been dreary in the mornings and I miss my daily dose, too! It does make you feel better!

I have been opening my blinds but the sun doesn't come straight into any of my windows but the light coming in helps. Just have to be careful that it doesn't set my migraines off....

Sunshine encourages the body to make Vit D which is important to all.
