Moderator: Cindy Edwards Winter is upon us--- dark, cold, wet----and with it winter blues or, in the extreme cases, SAD (seasonal affective disorder). The inspiration for this theme was a message from a friend in Finland about hating this dark season and lighting candles in response. It’s no wonder there are so many myths and customs associated with the sun and winter and the solstice. Let’s talk about how darkness affects us and what we do to counter it. We can shed light on a very dark topic by sharing anecdotes, opinions, and wisdom.
