[QUAD-L] Seasonal Affective Disorder-Mental Stims

[wheelchair]

Keeping the mind busy and active.  Start a telephone group thru your community or church or health center.  You might even get paid for doing this.  Start developing a list of people who are shut-in and call them once a day or twice a week and just make sure that they are ok.  If you don't get an answer, you have an emergency number to call. This could develop into a major business if done right. W     In a message dated 11/3/2006 2:09:13 P.M.

Any other tricks you guys have for for keeping spirits up during these dark months (besides drugs and alcohol, which I know the effects of!)???
