Dark

Saturday, November 16, 2013

Dark nights...they are so long. I was helped to realize that my depression really does start when the time changes. I don't like to go places at night which leaves me in my apartment for a long night.

The chill in the air has also made my arthritis act up. So not only am I dealing with emotional pain...I have physical pain on top of it.

Dark nights...short days. And yet I can be thankful for my many blessings. I have a house over my head with heat. I have food for my stomach. Medication to help with my mental and physical issues. Family, friends and a great church family to talk to and ask for help.

So all is not bleak in my life.

    I too have been depressed lately. Maybe that's what is wrong with me. I always get the blues this time of year. I don't know if it's SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) or the holidays coming up or the time change. Whatever it is, I don't like it. emoticon

    This time of year can be difficult. I'm like you and hate the long nights. I miss still being outside at 8 PM before it starts getting dark. The shortest day of the year is a little over a month away and then the day light will start to get LONGER. That's what I am looking forward to. I am also thankful for many things and two of them are the company of my kitties. They do help the long nights pass faster.

    Oh the hours of light sure do get shoter every week, it does make for long nights. I don't blame you for not wanting to go out by youself at night. I wouldn't do that either. Your right we must count our blessings so many people would love the house and food we are able to enjoy each day.

    Angie,

    I understand your feelings changing with the time, as mine did also. I don't get depressed, but I detest going out in the dark and only if push comes to shove will I go out in the dark. I too, have the long nights in the house, but it's okay. I have Family Life Radio on literally 24/7, as my Pastor helped me to understand that darkness CAN'T abide where the Word of God is spoken, so when I leave my radio on all day and all night, it gives me great comfort to hear HIS WORDS!!!

    Be blessed,
