The Long Haul

The alarm clock went off this morning. I opened my eyes and it was still pitch black. This is the worse time of year for me. I’m a sun person–a summer-long-days person. Who in the hell wants to get out of bed in the cold dark of December?
This is also a time of year when I have to keep depression at bay.
Working out is good for depression but when I get home at 5:30 and it’s dark out, the motivation factor is very weak. Thank goodness December 21st is on the way. The days will start to get longer and before I know it, Spring will be at my doorstep. So saith Pollyanna.
I just have to keep positive thoughts in my head and push forward. . .
I have the same problem. In the summer i crawl into work at 7:30ish. In the winter i crawl into work at 8ish. What a pain in the ass!
Yes, I wake up much earlier than I’d like to. What to do for about an hour and half of morning darkness? Thank goodness for NPR and blogs.
I really hear you. I leave my house at 5:30 AM. At this time of year it’s pitch black uout. This morning it was also 13°.
