The winter months are always tough for me as well.
I can't wait for spring. Glad to hear you will be living close to your daughter.

I've always thought that this was kind of silly, but my mom used to use one of those artificial sunlight (like this: Verilux HappyLight Liberty Natural Spectrum Energy Lamp - BedBathandBeyond.com) lamps each morning, she said it helped manage circadian rhythms and help her feel more energized.

I use a light box to manage my SAD. While it may sound silly, it works for me especially when the sun doesn't come out for days at a time. I use it from late October through March. I believe in its utility to manage my winter blues.
