winter blues

There are plenty of ways to boost your mood, beat the winter blues and get through this season.

Daylight Saving Time and colder temps can be a major drain on our bodies.

If you've felt a drastic change in your mood recently, you're not alone. Tons of Illinois residents are feeling the winter blues and it's not going away anytime soon.

Whenever one of our Rockford winters takes a turn for the super-cold, I get a call from a good friend who lives in Atlanta. He skips right over traditional greetings of any sort and gets right to what he calls one simple question.

So here we are, two weeks into the new year, and we've had about 2 days of sunshine here in the Rockford area. Okay, maybe not two full days of it, but two days with some sunshine. Are you okay with that?
