QOTD

'I realize that hanging on to the past is like carrying around sharp pieces of glass in your pocket. Until you get rid of them, they'll cut you every time you attempt to move in any direction.'

-- Paul Dolman, "Hitchhiking with Larry David" (from Lama Surya Das' Weekly Words of Wisdom newsletter)

I was just saying to someone the other day that I had forgotten to start using my light box this year until sometime last week but that the SAD wasn't seeming particularly bad this time around. And then today I realized that Christmas is less than a week away and I haven't pulled out the decorations, put up the tree, or even done more than the very most basic shopping, nor am I sure when or if I'll get around to any of it. And I look forward to doing all that stuff (usually). Perhaps I was mistaken in saying that the SAD hadn't particularly taken hold yet this year.
