It is truly amazing to me how important the sun has become in my life! Originally from Chicago, I know what cloudy, overcast, snowy days are like. I am quite familiar with the bone chilling winds that whip through your body at high speed. I was accustomed to burning candle after candle, turning on all the lights in the house.....it was not a big deal! We could go days and sometimes weeks without a ray of sunshine.
And then, five years ago, I moved to Georgia.
I can honestly say that the more sunshine I get - the happier I am!
Maybe it's my age and I truly appreciate being positive and happy....maybe it's the fact that we have 2X the sun in Georgia than we had in Illinois. Perhaps I suffered from seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Whatever it is - I LOVE SUNSHINE!
"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead." ~Louisa May Alcott
