Do you get SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) in February? Even though it’s been a mild winter, months of shorter days have left me feeling a little meh lately.

So, as an antidote, these are a few of my favorite things about February:

• SuperBowl Sunday

• Running through my neighborhood on crisp, dark mornings

• My cat, Artie, curled up on her heating pad next to me

• Seeing the sun start to come up earlier

• The focused energy I feel as the semester gathers momentum

• Snowy Sunday mornings

• The orange roses Gary got me for Valentine’s Day

• The quiet introspection of the Lenten season

• Birthdays of our granddaughter and my cousin

• MLB spring training (only 29 days until Opening Day!)

Happy February, everybody!
