Better days

In recent days, I have come to the realization that I am depressed. When I get depressed, I make poor choices, like eating smores and ice cream all day and watching Live with Regis & Kelly when I should be paying bills or planning for retirement.

I can think of a number of possible causes for a short-term case of the blues:

1. It's winter and this is Oregon
2. I've been under the weather for weeks
3. Another ski trip has come and gone and I spent the time sick, again
4. I've not been exercising regularly
5. I've not been spending an hour a day with my mood light
6. I've not been eating well

And so what to do? Eat right and exercise is an obvious good beginning!
