Don't Go Getting SAD

The first winter I was in Boston after moving here from LA (2000-2001) it was brutally cold. Even the most upbeat of all of us (and I would qualify in that category being a ruthless optimist and generaly go-go gung-ho girl) were a little bummed out by April or so, when it was STILL snowing and had been snowing since October.

So in case you're tempted to get SAD this winter -- Seasonal Affective Disorder -- read this and try to avoid it.

Simple cure -- take an hour walk OUTSIDE every day, even if it 's really cold.
