My whole attitude seems to change dramatically whenever I'm in nature. Something about being surrounded by living things that don't require any thing of me, that are deliberately slow moving, and full of life just by being makes me slow down and feel better about myself and my world. Getting extra vitamin D is just icing on the cake for me! :) What’s amazing to me is the change that happens not just out-of-doors, but specifically in nature.

The form of depression that I have(SAD-Seasonal Affective Disorder) is brought on in March and April and has a lot to do with low sunlight aka Vitamin D. I may have to start taking supplements or something. I will definitely be making sure my kids get outside as much as possible! I played outside a lot as a kid and found that playing outside and even being outside as an adult can vastly improve my disposition for the day :). The vitamin D thing makes so much sense!
