Winter Sun

Do you ever get down in the winter?  I don't mean dancing.  I'm talking about emotions.  There are times when I feel sad for no good reason.  So what do I blame?  ...the weather.  It makes total sense.  There's just not much sun during this time of year.  I'm not saying that I need tons of sun.  I usually burn very easy.  However, I need some sunlight. 

Its just healthy.  When its cold, I usually want to stay inside where its nice and warm.  By doing this, though, I end up depriving myself of sunlight.  Everyone needs vitamin D.  Some people go to tanning beds, others just take vitamins, and I just need the real thing. 

I guess its good that I'm planning on going to Papua New Guinea (since its way closer to the equator).  If you find yourself getting sad and don't know why, it may just be that you need more sunlight... so take a little time and get moving outside in the winter sun.  Stay warm!!!
