Marina, I wish I could appreciate the cold like you! True, when the weather reaches a certain temperature, I can get quite bothered myself. I don't like strolling outdoors in the heat myself, actually, or in the extreme cold. I also know where you're going with the summer and the indoor lights. There really can't be a happy medium, can there? You're lucky you can dim your lights! I tend to get light headaches from the sun, the lightbulbs, and sometimes, the computer screen during the summer.

Good point though, about the colorful decor and clothing, Fresia, Ice, and Marina! I'm sure that would lift some down spirits. I'm not one who experiments with bright colors, but maybe I could give that a try?
