text: if you arrive and leave work in the dark, what do you do to stay happy? this question was posed in an editorial of a magazine i read. i couldn't be bothered of thinking up an answer so i thought i would enlist your help, thanks ! good question. i leave in the dark and come home in the dark and it's not nice. i always make sure i go outside at lunchtime and get some natural light. on days like today it's lovely to go out.   i also eat lots of chocolate! that always helps.   other things that help keep me happy are to have days off to look forward to, my birthday, which is in winter, and then, after the winter equinox in december it starts to get light again! its makes me happy every day to realise that we're getting a few extra minutes of light every day.
