Sugar, spice, snails, puppy dog tails

Let the sun shine...

After over two weeks of gray, gloom, and darkness, the sun broke through the overcast skies this afternoon. The feel of the warmth on my face as the beams slip through the window, the brightness of the light that reveals the blue of a clearing sky chase the depression that seemed to sit on me for the past few days. The sunshine makes all the difference in a dreary day and to a drooping soul.

I've always been a person of the light. I like waking late in the morning and reading, writing, working late into the night, but I need the sun to mark the day, to clear away the darkness of night with brightness. A day or two of rainy weather gives me an excuse to lie around and read, which is fine. Longer periods of drippy, dribbly, leaking outdoors and I begin to mold mentally and physically.

Now, rather than a dim, dull color, the day radiates with glowing color. The trees vibrate a bright green; the grasses harmonize with other shades; fall flowers blend their multi-tinged hues. The tapresty spreads before me through my window, causing my heart to smile in joy.

Life can be so very beautiful. Thank God for the rainbow at the end of every storm.
