Default Light therapy

Now that it's spring, I'm reminded of something else I find helpful for depression: getting out into the sunshine! It always makes me feel better, especially after several days of rainy, dreary weather. People with SAD (seasonal affective disorder) show improvement in their depressed symptoms when they get some type of light therapy treatment. And it's easy to do, just go outside and take a walk, sit and read a book, garden/yardwork, etc.
