I have to say I won't be sad to see the end of February. It has been one of those months were everyone has had the blues, and everyone has been ill, and I've probably topped the blues chart this month.
I went to a social gathering last night with a group of ladies that I met at anti-natal yoga and the feeling amongst the group was that they had all felt rather tired, lethargic and unwell for the most of February. Little ones having anything and everything that was going around and the parents contracting equally horrible illnesses. It's nearly everyone you speak to. This seems unusual? Or is it just a parent thing that i've not been party to before?
I feel our inclement weather here up in the North of England does not help us in any way. We suffer more than most the gloom of winter. Topped with I suppose most of the people I know suffering from some sort of sleep deprivation in one way or another, which will inevitably lower your immune system and they do say, can lead to depression. This is a recipe for virus overload and just a general feeling of being down. I believe the syndrome has an appropriately named title - Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. How appropriate, as this is how I and many others have been feeling for quite some time now.
So, as the nights start to lighten and the end of February draws near, I really do hope we will all turn a corner and start to feel a lot more positive and well. I know I would love to. So, hurrah to March and Spring I can't wait. Only a few weeks until the 20th for the Vernal Equinox. My daffodils are already starting to poke their noses up things are already looking brighter.
