One of the first steps is recognizing that you are affected by the seasons. Winter seems to be the most common time for SAD, but I find that any time there are long periods of no sunshine can also be difficult. I think for me it’s about being outside.
I’m willing to give these ideas a try and I want to be more mindful about getting a good amount of time outdoors.

Thank you Cara. This is a very good article and the activities seem like they would be fun. I know that I use land marks more than I use addresses.

Great thought. Our relationship with God is number one in everything in life. All other relationships are influenced by our relationship with Him. But, the opposite is also true. Our relationships with others can influence our relationship with God. Perhaps a childhood with a far off, uncaring, or even abusing father can influence our thoughts and our relationship with The Father. If we can get our minds to place God in His rightful position (first) in our lives, we can deal with other relationships.

A couple of things speak to me from this Psalm. Mostly, it causes questions about my walk with God. Do I really “thirst” for God? This question causes me to look at where I turn for help when the mental or physical struggles come my way. Do I turn to doctors, counselors, self-help books, etc? I’m not saying that using any of those things is wrong. What I am asking is where do I go first? Do I go to all the other places before I go to the Father?
The only place to find complete healing is in the Father. All the other things are blessing which the Father has supplied to bless us. In my journey, I’m learning to go to the Father first and depend on Him to lead to the things that can help me. As my thirst for Him moves to the place of being first, my mental and physical health move closer to His design.

The little “c” and the Large “C” is a way that I came up with to help me think about our relationship with our Father. Mankind was created in the image of God; “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” Genesis 1:26. But after the fall of man, our relationship with our Father changed. That’s the little “c”. Jesus provided the way for us to be restored to the large “C” relationship with our Father.
The body and the mind work together to make us who we are. Without one, the other is not as whole or healthy. It’s the same with the horizontal and vertical. Both areas need to be healthy in order for us to be a whole and healthy person. At least part of the question has to do with where we spend the most time. A healthy body contributes to a healthier mind and a healthy mind contributes to a healthier body.
