I know there is that Seasonal Affective Disorder, or or something like that. Where you get depressed if you go without sunlight. I think most people have some sort of that if they go too long without sunlight. But I don't think that's what I'm really talking about. I can go 1 day without feeling bad in summer. if it's warm out. I don't like it, but I can. Sunny and 65 is better than 85 and cloudy though. There is something about the warmth of the sun's rays. It's not emotional, it's purely a physical relaxation. I think if it was the serotonin, it would at least take a bit to go through you. The second I hit the sun, my shoulders just relax. It's like putting on an electric blanket. I also feel like an old man who says he can tell it's going to rain, because his's bones hurt.
