January 12, 2008 | Winter bad. Mandolin good...
Okay, so maybe picking on the porch in January may not be so good on the body if you live in the northern latitudes, but according to this article in the Thunder Bay Source, playing mandolin is good for the mind. Seems something called Seasonal Affective Disorder, when we get less sunlight--truly makes us SAD.
Feeling dopey, sleepy, or depressed this side of Solstice? It's good to know doctors recommend a commitment to picking or an activity similar; "what matters is you find something that re-balances and activates the mind, that can stimulate and recuperate what, sometimes, the dark periods of the year can take away, with the effect of the seasons."
Yup...
