The marshes and rivers around Savannah are one of the natural resources which makes this area unique. The rivers are home to many species of fish and shellfish. This is one of the reasons the seafood is so fresh. If you have never been to Savannah you should visit during the mild spring and fall weather.

Beautiful sunset last night. The river was smooth and calm. Hope you are enjoying the lovely December weather.

The days remaining in 2025 are counting down. But this is not a marker of the end. Any personal growth or project that you may be working on should continue in the coming year. The end of the year is simply an opportunity to reflect on the highs and lows of the last 12 months.

The holidays at the end of the year are a fun time to gather and be merry. But over time family traditions change and it can be a time of heartache if loved ones are no longer able to attend. In these times it’s good to have social support to help keep sadness from setting in. If a neighbor has family out of town- invite them to join your family. Or if beloved family members are now deceased- bring up memories of years past to keep them part of the tradition.

Do you get down and sad when the days are shorter? This is a phenomenon known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and is common this time of year. Natural sunlight triggers our brains to release melatonin which is a hormone that helps regulate our circadian rhythm. This is why the effects of seasonal affective disorder are worse in areas located near the North and South poles as the daylight is very short in the winter. You can combat the effects of SAD by increasing your sunlight exposure as well as using “daylight” bulbs in light fixtures which emit the same frequencies of light as sunlight.

As winter weather sets in, this is a good time of year to slow dow, rest, and recharge your mind and body. It’s also a good opportunity to reflect on 2025 and all the things which have happened this year.

Check out this nighttime view of Falls Park on the Reedy River in downtown Greenville. If you are visiting Greenville it is a great place to visit as the falls are a sight to see and there is usually some activity happening in and around the park.

Sunsets are all unique. Now imagine that the air is cool with a slight breeze. Time stands still as the sun sets. Contrast this with a summer sunset where you may hear birds and other wildlife still active in the marsh. While Savannah’s weather stays warm for the majority of the year, I believe it’s time for a few weeks of colder weather. In the meantime I’ll continue to dream of summer sunsets…

The month of December is a great time to reflect on the year. And as we anticipate the arrival of a new year, remember that anything is possible. What major accomplishment have you achieved this year? What do you hope to accomplish next year?

It’s not too late to get you flu vaccine. Getting vaccinated against influenza helps reduce likelihood of severe infection for you and helps prevent infection from spreading from other people. The more people who are vaccinated the better this “heard immunity” protects against spreading infections. Previously, people with egg allergy could not be vaccinated, but newer vaccination techniques allow almost anyone to be vaccinated. Vaccines can be given as young as 6 months old and breastfeeding mothers can boost their baby’s immune system by being vaccinated.
While vaccines are important it’s still good to practice good hygiene and wash hands frequently. Everyone must do their part to prevent the spread of illness.
