It’s the dead of winter - often a tough time for people susceptible to Seasonal Affective Disorder. While many of us may not suffer from a serious case of SAD, we often have our own version of feeling down or heavy or contemplative during this time. So how can you bring some positive news into your life quickly and easily? 

How about today we take some time with a few quotations. Bottom line: we’ve all been through similar experiences since the beginning of humankind but a few of us have encapsulated complicated feelings into just a few well-put words.

Here’s a few to get you through your day:
