Relationship advice: Winter has arrived in Alaska, and Alaskans are already showing signs of seasonal depression.
Winter seems to have arrived here in Anchorage and my girlfriend is already expressing some of her annual seasonal depression. It’s not just about snow, darkness and cold, but ice on the streets, windstorms, the end of summer activities, you name it. The whole thing creates levels of stress, anxiety and just puts an overall morose vibe over her life, which puts the same vibe over our lives together. She’s just not her usual positive, sweet, energetic self.
I feel bad because I’m not sure what to do or how to help other than listen and cuddle to keep her warm. I also feel a little bad because I actually enjoy winter — I love the quiet, secluded trails for runs, hikes and skis. I also don’t mind the cold and dark — I just dress for it and keep moving. Can’t afford Hawaii? Surprise your sweetheart with a slice of summer, right here in our hometown. The Municipality of Anchorage operates thecomplex at Russian Jack Park, and that includes an open-to-the-public tropical greenhouse with all kinds of plants, a koi pond — and warmth! This is a great spot to visit for a picnic lunch in winter or a leisurely stroll around the sprawling space to appreciate the colorful blooms, leafy palms and exotic cacti.
