Light at the End of the Tunnel!

Sherri Thoughts for the Day countdown, daylight saving time, spring, sunshine, winter

70 degrees today! Snow tomorrow, but the days are getting longer, bringing me more sunshine and freedom!

When the sun sets early, I get less sunshine, have to put the outdoor animals away at night (vs my hubby) and it is virtually impossible to get to appointments and back in time to put up the animals (can’t get to an appointment earlier in the day due to my illness).

AND! Daylight Saving Time is coming soon, which is life changing for me! I am seeing the “light” at the end of the tunnel! Wahoo!

I hate turning our clocks back! Winter is dark enough! The early sunsets about kill me! It is also so hard with outdoor animals and getting home from appointments. For those working and going to school it makes spending time outside during the week virtually Impossible before dark. And who has the motivation to get anything done after 4:30? Here comes the cold, dark cave. BOOOOO!

I Made It Through Another Winter

Sherri Thoughts for the Day awareness, birds, chronic illness and pain, daylight saving, depression, happy, invisible disabilities, joy, just for fun, no more winter, personal story, SAD, seasonal effective disorder, spring, sunshine, winter

I MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER WINTER! Hallelujah! Tonight we turn our clocks forward for Daylight Savings Time!

For me, this means: More sunshine, time outside, time with my animals, time to BBQ, time for appointments and outings for Wayne and me (don’t have to be home so early to put up the goats), time outside after my hubby gets home from work, more dopamine, serotonin, energy at night and it marks a turning point day for me to look forward to Spring and Summer, warmer weather and swimming!!! … Must I go on?

♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡ Wahoo!!!!

PS) For all of you who whine about losing an hour of sleep, try to remember you gain one later. It is worth the 238 hours of extra sunshine in the evening when you get off work and your kids get out of school!
