I feel the same way. Every morning I open the curtains, and when the sun comes pouring in, it puts me in a better frame of mind for the day. When it's overcast, I want to crawl back into bed.

Same here. I am near you and the rain was driving me up the wall. Even my dog was depressed! He was laying around sighing all the time. Now if everything would just dry up so that we can till our garden. We usually plant Memorial weekend. Not happening this year. Have a good one, Danielle.

Sometimes a rainy morning is great, but only if I have the luxury of being able to stay home and read or write all day. Obviously, rainy mornings happen more often then my ability to stay home and enjoy them! We have had rain on the East coast nearly every day for two weeks, but it has been on and off, not steady. Sunshine yesterday and today! Have a great weekend!

I'm always much more sluggish on rainy/cold days.

it is SO nice when it's warm enough to get out there and actually work in the yard without freezing :)

I'm hoping to get my tomatos in today

I'm definately look forward to the sunny day we're expected to get. It will be 78 here, one of the warmest days we've had this spring.

I think rainy days keep me inside and I can not work at my job, do the work around my yard, or go fishing. That makes my mood bleaker.

I know that in the northern European countries, where it gets very dark during the fall and winter months the suicide rates are very high.

Hey Dani,
You ever see those light visors that people wear? The first time I ever saw one was on a TV program called "Northern Exposure." People in Alaska and other parts far North wear them during the dark days to keep from jumping off the nearsest cliff. I know for myself I need light to be motivated. Gray dark days are for cozy fires and books... or cuddles. Maybe we should get ourselves some sunshine hats, what do you think??

I love the sunshsine and that is half the reason I came to Florida, but when it rains here it can be awe isnspiring. We can recive several inches in an hour. i t is a rain that would drown any other state though with us, it fills our wells and lakes and tamps out the fires of spring. It is most welcome and make you feel the happier for it.

If I'm not mistaken, they have done studies and what you describe is very common. People tend to get more depressed when there are several days of cloudy or rainy weather.

I think it makes a difference too. I'm in a much better mood on sunny days.

It has the same effect on me too. I remember that I used to suffer from cabin fever of a sort when I lived in Washington.

I bought my husband a Happy Light for his b-day. A portable light that emits the right kind of light (you know the same as the sun. I'm so technical it's scary) I notice the lack of sunlight it in all my kids.

For as much as I love the sunshine and the hotter than hot days of Summer here in Dallas, I still prefer the weather in Germany and England much more. Call me gloomy or what you will but I thrive on rainy days. I love them!! My creativity picks up, I'm inside to paint and draw, do my renderings for clients and have the music playing. When it is beautiful out, I am too distracted to get much done so it is a double bladed sword for me.
