Oh glorious sun!!! I was so thankful for the sun that streamed into my living room window while I ate breakfast this morning – especially after the monsoon of a rain storm we had yesterday. The consistently cloudy days that we often experience during the winter usually leave me wanting to stay under the covers in the morning and eat more chocolate than is advisable. Apparently, I’m not alone. According to eMedicineHealth, it’s actually called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and it affects 6 of every 100 people in America, mainly young women in the north. Yep, that’s me!
My furbabies took advantage of the buttery lovliness that fell across our stairs. I longed to stay home and join them, but alas, I was off to work.
I often find myself at work daydreaming about sunbathing in my back yard in my new hot pink bikini, munching on Onion flavored Sunchips and sipping an ice cold coke. The sun is so bright that I put a towel over my eyes and there is a light breeze, just enough to lull me to sleep. Kitties safely play around me, purring, sniffing at bugs and chasing leaves that skitter along the grass. There are no dark, dreary days. Only warmth. Muscles relaxed. Skin tan and hydrated. Freedom from the dark. Peace.
