Four Seasons of Wellness: Summer 2026
Brighter Days
In the northern latitudes especially, people tend to celebrate longer days. There’s no mystery why. Those who live in long periods of darkness come to develop a special appreciation for the light. Longer days can seem brighter, especially in Boulder, which enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year. We know the seasons affect our moods, often for the better. There are psychological and physiological reasons for this, but it’s enough just to enjoy the time.
