Dedicated to all the SADs, especially those working through Advent 2016, trying to keep your winterish cool about TrumpAdministration 2017.

Winter's time and the livin's not easy. Snow plows humpin' and my mouth is too dry. Well, well, well, well, well your daddy ain't rich and your wallet's not cookin'. So sleep little baby, don't you, don't you cry. [Insert your own scat blues here. You didn't think I was going to do all the work did you?] One of these nightly days We're gonna' rise up singin'; We're gonna' spring our wings and fly to the sky sky, sky! And on that great gettin' up mornin' there ain't nothin' gonna' stop us, with Mother Earth an Father Sun standin' and spinnin' bye.... Ba-duh, ba-duh, ba-duh, Bu-Dah.....

haha, LOVE what you put in the Intro notes!! I did not have SAD until Trump won the presidency. I was so riddled with anxiety I could not sleep for two nights. Glad I found this cool jazzy write.

I continue having escapist fantasies of moving to Panama, perched high above the Pacific Ocean coastline, growing carrots and celery and maybe even beets.

I truly enjoyed that - and I loved the humorous line about doing all the work. I had fun here, Gerald - thank you ... CayCay
