It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine ~ Eeyore

I find myself feeling always feeling a bit bluer this time of year without fail. I am often looking for inspirational things to occupy my time. Earlier I was looking through my pictures for something cheery, and that's a reminder that spring is around the corner and there will be plenty to do while Mother Nature is starting to come alive. I found the perfect picture to share that just so happens to be one of the many favourites I've taken over the years, but I wanted to figure out what could go with the picture. A random quote, saying, maybe a short blurb about some thought of mine or something a little more about what I was thinking and feeling. I was looking for inspiration, and I'm sure that if I am, then I must not be alone. I decided to turn to Google and see if I could find anything that struck a chord with me and what'd you know something did come up. Thanks, to me looking up "feeling blue in the winter need inspiration", and like always there were inspirational quotes amongst other things, and I found out what SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) was, and it sounds somewhat familiar to what I deal with during the winter months. SAD is certainly something for me to research until I feel I am some expert on the condition. Don't ya just love having Googleitis? I haven't read too much about it yet, but there are already a few things that make me wonder if everyone who gets somewhat moody and depressive in the colder months if it's just some "disorder" that everyone is susceptible too or if there is more to it. I do believe that the changing of seasons do affect our moods especially when it involves the changing of sunlight and it's no surprise that it also can lead to feeling blue, depression and lack of inspiration. The amount of the sun or better yet the vitamins the sunlight exposure causes a person body to produce is essential, and you decrease the light in a day and or cause the temperature to lead to more layers of clothes thus preventing a person from getting what they need. I have a lot to learn, but in the meantime perhaps I can try and offer some form of inspiration to lead to a brighter happier moment.

Seeing the picture just makes me feel better and happier in a way. It sort of curbs my wish for spring to hurry and get here want temporarily. It makes me sort of wonder what about a project of types of posts for each day of the week for positive reinforcement, quotes, inspirational sayings and or suggestions. I haven't put much thought into it yet but the fact I was feeling a bit blue, looking for images that conjure memories and something inspirational to read means that there is possibly an idea for a project. I'll have to kick it around and see what I come up with and post again on the subject. Ideas and suggestions would be helpful!

I do feel a bit inspired by coming across @humansofsteemit and seeing their blog and mission. I think a lot of good can be achieved here in the steemit community by all of us steemians.

My post is a bit long and perhaps long winded and sorry ahead of time if you think that. I just wanted to get my thought across. In the meantime I was able to come up with a photo, I took with Instagram that has sunlight in it, and I'll share it here.

I think sunlight could help, but for the meantime in the winter months, we can help inspire our fellow steemians.
