I feel kind of silly even writing this, but I need help. It's that time of the year that I love which is autumn but right after that is when the sun goes on vacation. I am going to probably be moving to the east coast and right now, I need to find a way to deal with winter. I just couldn't cope last year. I thought that SADD was a joke but it isn't!

I have read and read about lights that you can use but I just don't want to buy something that isn't going to work. I don't get downright depressed, it's like, I need sun. Short of going to a tanning bed every day, what can I do? I would love to hear from someone else that has used the lights or found some other way to deal with it.

One way of dealing with it is I'm going to suck it up and bike all winter. No matter what. Last year I curled up and didn't ride outside for months. That just isn't going to happen this year!

Enjoy the days while they are still long enough!
