I've maxed out. Closed this blog.
This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         Only a few weeks until the official season of winter is upon us. The shorter hours of daylight make people depressed. Christmas Eve is known as the biggest day for suicides, not because people are lonely or missing their old traditions, but because the lack of light feeds their problems. The longer nights augment their sadness until they can't bear it. Yes, shorter daylight hours make sad and troubled people suicidal.

         If you know someone who may be feeling low, recovering from cancer or going through the grieving process, make sure they get their time in the sunlight.Open the window shades earlier in the day. Encourage them to go on the sun porch or to sit by the window in the morning. These little things may lessen the burden they bear, or improve the attitude enough to help the healing process.

         You may not be suicidal, but you might get uptight from time to time or feel a little sad without reason. Just take a break during the day to step outside. Whether you're at home, in a big office building, or on a factory line. Get into or out into the real daylight several times a day. It may make a big difference in the way that you feel or get along with others. Put as much light in your day as possible in December and January. It could pay off.
