Leaping Shyla!

We've had a series of gray and dreary days that have pulled my spirits very low. We awakened this morning to sunshine, and it was astounding to feel my spirits rise back up to normal as I pedaled out our snow-packed trail into the sunshine. I think that my mood is very sensitive to sunlight so I'm going to be trying a light box to give my body uplifting light in the morning even on gray days.

It seemed as if Shyla was also ecstatic. She kept leaping for almost no reason! She was flying high above the snow.

She was sprinting in circles around me and leaping off a small rock on each lap. After I figured out the pattern, I captured some focused photos despite her speed.

I was laughing and smiling more than I have in days!
Thanks, Shyla, I needed a morning like this one!!!

  2. I have read that what can be called " Seasonal disorder" or something like that can happen very easily when sunlight is not in great supply. A light box is a great idea. And today's or yesterdays photos, show the happiness with your girl.

  4. Oh Shyla what a happy girl sweet she is.
    I do not care for the winters here in the PNW.
    But with the sun comes out everyone celebrates or so it seams.

  7. How fun! Since Mom broke her ankle, we are looking at 6-8 weeks of boredom. It's hard on all of us as we are always so active. Enjoy!

  8. Leaping Shyla for sure!!! She sure can get some good air. We are happy she brought you some smiles. Maybe a little extra Vitamin D would help too - it works wonders for my other half, especially in the winter.

    1. Vitamin D was the first thing that I tried (and I'm still taking it) - and I haven't noticed a difference in my mood. I'm hoping that the light box will help.

  12. I can't remember the last time I saw the sun! I'm so jealous! lol I'd say it's been a good month or so, but I love the energy and happiness I feel when it finally comes out. So do the dogs. Maybe that's why Shyla was so happy for you and her and the sunshine. Beautiful shots!

  15. It definitely looks like Shyla enjoyed the sight of sunshine, too! I know that feeling all too well--with the wind chill yesterday, it felt like 9 degrees, but the sky was blue and even though we couldn't be out for too long, we took lots of little excursions in our neighborhood.
