Soakin' Up the Sun



What is it about spring that makes you feel like you just received a fresh breath of life?


Today, I think it's the sun that put me in a good mood. Yesterday was about the same otherwise, but today a bright, warm sun popped over the eastern horizon, and my mood went up along with it. I mean, what's better than walking right out of practice in shorts and not feeling a single goosebump!?

To put it simply, sunshine elates me. There are few things that make me smile more than those lovely warm rays. It's especially fantastic when the sky is a deep never-ending azure from horizon to horizon- the world feels so open!

It really is beautiful outside. My family and I walked down the road and back a few minutes ago and I could hear the red-winged blackbirds and smell the earthy fresh air. We heard a bubbly gurgling sound and saw that it was a run-off stream from the hill. The water was clear and cold. And then, there was that sunshine. I love being able to just stand towards the sun and let its warmth seep into me. It's one of the best feelings in the world!

I love love LOVE spring!

So, this is my advice: Take any day you're feeling down and go outside to enjoy the sun, you won't regret it!
