colder weather is here. windows must be mostly kept shut in the part of the country where I live. Sunset is earlier each week. These all cause me to feel more depressed. The closed windows mean I cannot hear the outside world. Feels quite shut off from life. Where I live the windows have to be shut 8 months out of the year. I heard an ad on TV for christmas music. I am sure I will make it through the holidays. But it takes much out of me to do that.
