I am a Norwegian German mix and fairly white. Living in Wisconsin for the winters was difficult. The overcast weather and low sun on the horizon tended to make me feel pretty low. Having moved to Florida, I get as much sun as I can take and haven’t experienced some of the lows I had in previous Wisconsin winters. I wear a straw hat, breathable long sleeve shirts and long pants to moderate my sun exposure. I have spent more time outdoors and away from cities. All together, I feel less stressed at 38 than I have in years. I attribute it to being out in the elements, WFH and pushing outside my comfort zone. It just feels better to be out here, anchored next to Cape Canaveral.
