Light, Dark, Emotions, Will
I recently made a very simple observation and am wondering why it took me so many weeks to do so. My office recently moved from a brightly lit suite to a dimly lit warehouse. I thought my change in productivity was solely due to physical changes - I went from an office with an ergonomic chair to a completely not ergonomic mini-cubicle in a high traffic area. Yes, the physical surrounding are troubling. But it's the lack of light that really gets to me.
By the end of the day, I simply am not the same person I was when I walked in. Apparently, my neurons may be dying. Well, now that I can articulate the cause of my melancholy, I must use my strong will to work past it.
Add this to the list of reasons I can't wait to get a dog. S/he'll be joining me in January, when I return from my trip to India for a peace conference. So much to do: must figure out where to find him/her, and most importantly - what to name him/her. I've always had male dogs, so I'm not sure how I'd do with a girl pup. Oh yes, and preparing for that peace conference is also on my to-do list.
