As I sit here in the early morning predawn drinking my latte(sharing the foam with Hattie and Kona, Kula will have nothing to do with foam!), I am struck by how blessed I am. It is to be a sunny day (Yipeee) and I was almost getting angry that as important as the sun is to my attitude and activity I have to live where it is such a special event to have a day like today. Then...wait a minute! Be thankful, honor where you are, this place and time. There is grace and beauty in my life and I have an amazing family! I have so many activities and hobbies that are not dependent on sun (and I own tons of fleece)! That wonderful invention changes the perspective of any day. The best thing is that I can decide what my attitude will be....if I lived where the sun shines every day, maybe I wouldn't celebrate those days with such enthusiasm! Guess I need to find my sunglasses and give myself a pedicure, it is to be in the high 70's today! It is April...wow!

I KNOW!!! I woke up this morning with giddy excitement!!!!!! Time to exfoliate!
I think that feeling about needing the sun comes from not being born here. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE when the sun shines, but the cloudy days don't bother me. I think because I was born here and that is my standard. You were raised in a sunny place for your childhood and I'm sure you have many wonderful memories that all involve sun!
I am excited to take Jameson on a walk tonight at Lincoln Park with Brian though! :)
