I don't know if it's Winter or January or the dark,
damp and cold, but I have a serious case of the
doldrums. I feel as if I can barely face the day.
Obviously, this isn't the first time. I have been
dealing with SADS ever since I left Mexico 30
years ago There, I could count on sun and heat
year 'round . . . but here, we have proper seasons.
I have a series of tricks of the trade that I cater to.
But, as this Winter has been particularly benign,
I had hoped to escape this one. The cabin doesn't
offer hot baths, only warm showers. With 18 inches
of snow on the ground, no walks come to mind.
I'm opting for little or no sugar and make a point
of sitting by the fire all that I can. I've even curtailed
drinking pretty much. Alas, the power of positive
thinking isn't cutting it, but still, I need to THINK
up a way to get out of this state and beyond it. If
I can just make it six more weeks, I'll be okay.
I swear, I'm on the verge of damning the dark!
will winter please end
alas tis ever so dark
pray turn on the light
