Even in winter the sun is still there. Its a little further away, and sometimes it forgets to say hello, but its there... You just have to remember to look for it n.n Its interesting tho, even if you can't see the sun, or feel its warmth, you can find the warmth in other things too! Like, the way the air smells when its cold, or the feeling of a good warm blanket, the blues and reds in the world you hadn't been able to see in the warmer months... So you see, the sun is still there, he's just a little tired this time of year, so sometimes he forgets to give you a hug. :)

thanks, I needed that. gonna look for all the blues and reds every day ;u;

I find that in the winter its best to look forwards to things that we don't have the privilege of seeing for the rest of the year. After all, winter only lasts so long. The sun will always come back. So, why not love and enjoy what we're given while its still around? Winter can be beautiful too, you just have to remember to look for it. And the sun will always be there. <3

tomorrow I'm putting up all my xmas decorations so at least I have that ;u; after january though it gets so much harder... -n-

Well, I'll be here to point out the sun to ya ;P

I just have to jump in and say that was really beautiful <3
my seasonal depression this time has been awful
and your post was just the best thing to hear~
so I just have to say thank you ^_^

aww you're very welcome! n.n

Awesome pic, sal!

Yeah, the day to day can sometimes seem like an endless cycle. But then that cycle ended before, and it will end again this time. Just gotta keep riding on, and finding that moment that makes it just a little more tolerable. That break in the clouds, a warm spot in your heart, a moment of solace away from the things that wear you down.

Aww, I really enjoyed seeing that warm glow in your drawing there. Even as I'm here awaiting the moment I can go to bed and sleep away the remnants of today, I can at least appreciate that last-minute decision of delaying rest just a little longer because it gave me the chance to see that picture before I do. Thank you!

I feel this pic so much. So so much

Such a precious moment you captured ` v `

I'm one that prefers winter to summer (its summer down here, btw).
There are enjoyable things in summer. It might be true that the sun hides and is harder to feel it but winter has its own pro's too.
Instead of trying to reach for the sun so bad, try to embrace the little things that autumn and winter can offer: A warm beverage in a rainy day, saying warm in bed, cuddling with a teddy, contemplating the falling leaves of autumn or the snowfall of winter (if applies, the only time it snowed here since I'm alive I couldn't enjoy it), etc.

In any case, and as I said, I'm one that prefers winter, and your picture kind of reminded me of that season. It looks really good, and sure transmits a feeling.

Aw man now I wish even more than usual you were here in Israel so I could hug you like all the time and keep you warm ;~;
But you’re not, so I’ll just say that SAD is pretty common in Iceland, so they use artificial sunlight lamps to avoid it.

This work feels like bursting out of the doors to the morning spring air.
Refreshing. Being outside in the sun always helps me, too. Like I'm some kind
of solar panel that soaks up positive energy from sunlight. It always makes me happier
and relaxed. (It's why I open the curtains when Everyone leaves.
WHy does no one in my house like the sun?)

Sent ya message -squeezes with a hug and tries to give you extra determination-

Hi Kitten, a lot of people suffer from seasonal depression. What seems to help some people is putting in a sun lamp (full spectrum) in a place they spend time in. The light seems to help with the condition and boosts production of vitamin d in your body. Hope you get feeling better hun.

It sure does leave a warm feeling.

I've found filling my room with plants has helped me a little bit in the winter months.
It's something green to look at and take care of.

WOW now this is awesome! the level of detail in the coloring is great! love it!

You need to try light therapy! Its basically the same thing as sitting, staring into space except, there's a lamp that helps your body generate all that sweet happy making vitamin D. As far as I know its the usual treatment for people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder aka the winter blues.

look lovely

Work, work, shovel snow, shovel snow, eat, sleep, repeat!

This is a really beautiful piece! As other people say, I also recommend light therapy, 30min in the morning. If the lamps are too expensive, you also might be able to just buy a full spectrum bulb for <$10 and put it in a normal lamp. I'd check it out! :3

This style is so amazing. As much as I love winter, when its warm days like this, I cant help but relish in it.

Come live with me in Florida, we're all still in shorts and tank tops here and the sun is always shining. Seriously….it never stops….O___O

looks good
