SAD Season is coming........but not in Crete!

Good morning ........(click on the image to see full size).

..................and what a wonderful morning it is here in Crete.  This  is what I woke up to today, isn't it amazing, all the rays shining through the clouds, and onto  the water, the fishing boat just making its way out so we can all eat fresh fish tonight if we choose.

Two days of unsettled weather............rain in September...............very un-Crete-like!!  In fact, I had to close my terrace doors, and I needed a light blanket...........c'mon.......this is Crete.........it should still be 30's.......

Waking up to a view like this every day....ok, usually its bright sunshine.....I'll show you some more photos later..........is like a breath-taking dream.   

Compare that to what I could be waking up to in poor old Scotland.  Fog, rain, grey,  and thats in summer.
And now we are getting very close to SAD season (http://www.realmotivation.com/SAD solutions).

SAD is hugely under-estimated in the UK, and my guess is that this winter will be very hard for many people, because there has just not been a summer in Britain.  The clocks will go back, mornings will be dark, and people dread getting up.  Work suffers, people get depressed..............its NOT just the Weather

We humans need sunshine in order to manufacture seratonin in the brain.  Some more than others.  I personally need lots and lots of sunshine.  As do many of my friends.

We will be running FREE TELECLASSES (which you can access from the comfort of your own home)
to discuss how SAD  affects us, and what we can do about it to make our lives easier.  All you have to do is register your name for the Class (dates to be confirmed ) and we will contact you with details nearer the time.

Meanwhile, my sun is shining again, and I'm off to top up my seratonin levels.  Thanks for being here.

Hi Annie

Snap. The same thing happens in Sardinia, too.

With all that sparkling sunshine, even in winter, it's impossible to feel sad. I need lots and lots of sunshine to function and feel awake, which is why Sardinia does it for me.

You're right. It really does feel like living a dream every day. Far better than the smog of Milan or the cold drizzle of Preston.
