Montgomery!! All her characters are like old friends. I like Emily just a little bit more then Anne. I totally devoured Emily's Quest. It's my favorite out of the three. I love L.M. Montgomery!!

We don't get a lot of snow, so no reflective light, we do get a lot of cloudy dreary days that are just uncomfortable, and the lifestyle of the area doesn't promote outdoor activities. You have to be pro active and use light a lot in your home and when the sun is out, change your routine to get the most of it. Hanging with other people also seems to help. I think it's that social need of humans. Keep the faith, things will improve! See you at Starbucks! I really think this area is more affected by SAD than many other more likely areas.

I have the same issue with winter; as soon as the sun starts setting earlier, I start getting all mush and crazy. Luckily this year it's not so bad, but winter ain't over yet! I'm sorry you miss your mom. I'm not sure what to say, because I don't think there's anything that could possibly be comforting enough. I'm here if you need me. You have my email address. I'm more than willing to lend an ear. I hope you have a happy and relaxing holiday. Hugs and love to you. I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling good.

Mostly unavoidable for many of us, the holidays become a time of soul-searching and reminiscing, whether we mourn people or pets no longer here to share it with us, or long for the Christmas' of childhood, so much different than they are after we're all grown up. Take the quiet time you need, but I bet your mom would want you to also make merry and enjoy the holidays and the new memories in the making. And give that cat a pet for me. : ) Jinx -- so sorry to hear your family lost a pet. I lost my two very old cats, one in 2006, one in 2007, and I miss them every day. I was out at Petco yesterday and there were some cats and kittens in the front of the store for adoption. I can't get another cat right now since I have rescue dogs that can't be trusted around cats, but just petting those sweet little faces did my heart good. Happy Holidays to both of you, Em I’m sending you peace and Christmas cheer.

I am feeling better this morning, so I'm hoping the worst of it's over by now. I'm sorry to hear about your mother's cat--it's so hard to lose a beloved family pet. Thanks, Jinx.

The long nights and grey days can affect anyone, and I hope that the arrival of the solstice will help bring you back to what you were. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my mother, not yet. Her cat had to be put down Friday and I hadn't even seen him in a year and I can't remember the last time I cried that much.

It's a strange place for a patch as well, but at least it means I can still wear my jeans! Oh, also, if anyone’s wondering, I did patch that rip in my jeans.

It's a good thing to focus on rather than on whatever's making me nervous. It's interesting that so many people have such strong reactions to cilantro--my mother hated it too, and so does my grandmother. There don't seem to be many other herbs or spices that elicit quite that strong a reaction. I use chapstick when I’m nervous too.
