Record rains finally stop!

Hi: 

Well, the sun finally shone today, after weeks of non-stop rain.  We are hitting records in Vancouver we the amount of rain and number of days with it - around 23 I believe.

Unfortunately, it seems to be all people are talking about.  They are sick and tired of the continuous grey, and I certainly agree with everyone that enough is enough.  Next year I do not want to spend another winter growing moss on my back and fern tentrils down my arms.   My bones ache. 

I attended a fitness class last week where we were advised to take 800 I.U.'s of Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. Apparently lack of D can cause muscle weakness and other problems. Much of the northern hemisphere does not get enough of D during the winter months.  There have also been studies of women, who because of religous beliefs, remain covered up, and apparently they also suffer from Vitamin D deficiency.

Enjoy the rest of the day.  The blossoms are out and spring is coming.
