Dear Seasons,
It has been a few weeks now since we saw the sunshine. The cloud cover on the west coast has been relentless, heavy, and oppressing. For a moment this morning, just at dawn, I saw clear skies above and held out hope for sunshine, but as the winter sun was climbing over the trees the clouds quickly arrived to obscure it.
We are all feeling tired and depression is taking us down, one by one. I am unsure if we will survive this year. I caught my son sucking on an orange peel in the kitchen the other day. It was awkward.
The children rarely come out of their rooms, and even with a fresh plate of kiwi and pineapple on the table, our needs have still not been satisfied.
We are starving for sunlight.
Send help, if you can.

Things do get a bit dreary on the west coast and while we have mild temperatures, and an early spring, we also get day after day of clouds and fog that block out any simple rays of sunshine that try to get to us.
Our youngest is most susceptible to this “lack of vitamin D”. When he was in preschool he would come home with pages of paintings, all just yellow. Page after page of yellow. A desperate plea to the sun.
So, we do our best to keep his need fed, and supplement his Vitamin D with some of the great products from Orange Naturals.
Adding this one tiny thing to his “winter schedule” not only keeps him chugging along happier, but healthier too. His system doesn’t run at its optimal pace when he is short on sunlight, and that affects his immune system (and his attitude).
I still find him curled up in a sunbeam when we get one, but overall he is better balanced because of the supplement… which makes the whole family happier!
We even keep the grownups filled with the sunshine vitamin with this great D#+K2 Softgel supplement and it truly helps to combat the wintertime lack of Vitamin D.
