Greetings Friends!  

" Hello darkness my old friend. I've come to talk with you again." - Simon and Garfunkel

I wish I could be excited about this time of year. I am one who suffers from the lack of light and struggles through November, December and January - call it Seasonally Affected Disorder (SAD) if you wish. The hours in the studio are cut short earlier in the afternoon by the dying daylight. Although I'm late to start this year, the lightbox will be turned on daily when working in the studio starting today! Given my ever optimistic and joyous outlook on life I can never be down or depressed - not even in November. It is only my energy that seems to drain in the dark months. Curling up under a blanket with a good book becomes a tantalizing wonderful idea! So enjoy the dark and hibernation - more alone time to work, read, experiment.  Keep well my friends.

xxoo, Suze
