I actually feel good and am obviously happier than most of the people around me. It is very liberating and I am truly having a great time this holiday season.
Also, I bought a couple LED grow lights for my houseplants and, believe it or not, the light they emit seems to help me with counteracting the winter blues.

Always a real treat to hear about your next venture into the unknown
Happy New Year to you Camille and Bob?
