We do get less and weaker sunlight during the winter, but not like what happens in my old stomping grounds. I don't think that's the issue, though. Thanks for the good thoughts.
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Dysphoria seems to be a feature of life--one that modern has exploited alternatively as both a motivator and demotivator. So a feature not a bug, except that any feature can become buggy.
The world is still a beautiful place. I enjoy reading these but my life is crazy right now, and those moments I can sit and read are not matching well with moments in which I might formulate and convey a comprehensible response.
I still love Viktor Frankl, but I've also recently discovered Dorothy Parker. There is no great answer, there are just answers, some of them eloquent.
I also enjoy the musical suggestions. I will at some point to listen to those I haven't already heard. I try not to think too much about using Spotify to do that.
I always enjoy your comments and insights, but I don't demand them; no need for apologies. Thanks for the sympathy. I'm spending the weekend with a friend, and the undemanding company and change in environment is helping. Also the cats, although the one who likes to hang out with me in the guest room has marked the laptop as his own. The sameness of my days was getting to me, it seems.
I like Dorothy Parker. I've wondered how she would have felt about Twitter. She would have been very good at it but probably appalled too, guessing.
I think Dorothy Parker found all things simultaneously appealing and appalling, though varying in degrees. I think artists of any kind do and that the degree of oscillation, and their tolerance for remaining betwixt, that governs both their creativity and their output. I suspect Parker loved A.A. Milne.
Living where you do, you can't claim seasonal affective disorder. Get better from whatever else it is.

Best review ever.
