ever notice how you don't really miss the sun until it reappears? i have to say... ive been doing better this winter than most. still cheerful and energetic for the most part. i haven't been craving the sun like i ususally do by mid december. three tropical vacations within 12 months has probably had a large hand in my newly found love for snow, but still. i was pretty proud....until today. today the sun came out and the temperature rose to a balmy +11 celcius! it smells like spring, you don't have to wear a coat, its phonomenal! but it made me notice that i've been a lethargic lazy beast over the past few weeks. the sun filled me back up with the energy and happiness that i hadn't realized of which i had been lacking! hallelujah! so to further accelerate this glorious feeling, i went for a tan! it was nothing short of amazing! just like stepping into a tiny box of mexico. the vitamin d went straight to my brain in a way thats 4000iu of gummy vitamin d simply cannot compete with! i would have to say, i strongly believe that the positive health benefits of doing this once a week or so for the rest of the duration of winter far outweigh the negative aspects, considering i am employing the proper uva/uvb protection and only going for 4 minutes per session!
