I think at lot of people suffer during the long winter months, I know I do. But I try to get out and about as much as possible to try to combat the miseries. Like you say Mags, there are people a lot worse off.
I have a good friend who's a geriatric nurse and she wants me to exercise... says it's tiring at first but will boost my energy if I keep at it. I'd like to swim but the pools around here are too warm. Maybe tai chi?
