There's a reason February is the shortest month of the year. Because other than Valentine's day, the month has nothing to offer. It messes with our heads... is it spring? Is it winter? It's the teaser month and I don't like it. Not one single bit.

I've managed to keep my depression at bay for 3-4 years now. Lifestyle changes, recognizing signals and having a treatment plan... but every winter I struggle a bit. The hardest time of the year to avoid the moody blues, January and February. I survived January by running my guts out everyday, but I'm in an uphill battle to maintain my sanity while on a time out from running this month. It's been a very overcast and inversion filled winter with very little dusty white goodness aesthetically gracing the ground. In years past my answer was skiing on the weekends. The sun, the workout and the fresh air was my treatment. Not bad. Life has changed though and I'm trying to figure out how to survive winter without my safe haven on the slopes. More hiking, snowshoeing, running and walking are my prescription for the remainder of this winter. And a whole lotta trips to St. Geezy for some light therapy.

Vitamin D and palm trees fix almost everything

Check these pasty whites! They'll be sunning in St George for the next 3 weekends.

February is the month I love to hate.

Agree. I think I have the same kind of relationship with February! St. George sounds delightful. Oh, we'll be there too this weekend!
I hear ya...winter is not my favorite, the random warm-ish sunny days that tease you after and before a dreary, gray and cold winter day...I can't wait for Spring and Summer!
I am so glad I bumped into you and Lori on your walk this morning--that made my day!!! Thanks! :)
Totally agree! Thanks, but no thanks, February. Especially since you make me another year older every time you show up! ;P
Agreed. I think the world should move Christmas and New years to the end of January first of February. Then we could at least have something in these dreary months. ;)
Love ya
Well, 3 weekends in St. George sounds good to me- wish I was going.
Come to Az! It's 75 and sunny today. u have a bus to stay in!!!!
I am so jealous!! I wish I was going to St George 3 weekends in a row! It's beautiful weather there!
So while you're there these next 3 weekends... try zumba at the Warehouse! Seriously! (I saw in your post above you've done it twice now) Have you heard of the warehouse? It's the BEST! There's a class saturday morning at 9 or 9:30.. check up on the sure time but you will LOVE it!!
