The Joys Of Summer

It is well known fact that Seasonal Affective Disorder (or SAD) affects a great number of people around the northern part of the globe where winter days are short and gloomy. This lack-of-sunshine malady is not always appreciated by inhabitants of the warmer climates, but can be devastating, particularly for those countries where the rate of suicide is already high. I have always openly admitted to suffering from this affliction with various degrees of strength, depending on the severity of the winter. Today is the first day when the appearance of the sun has affected me in a delightfully positive way. I can feel a lighter disposition of the spirit, a wonderous sweet temperament enveloping the mind, a convoy of happy emotions. Friday afternoon will mark the beginning of a ten day long break from the intrinsic tediousness and stress of office work. I shall be rejoicing at the prospect of spending more time with my loved ones and the ability to work on the latest recordings in a stress-free environment. Summer is my friend.
