Rejoicing in Your Return

Gloomy, monotonous blanket of gray dissolves its COVER

lightness and brightness bubble within ME

triggered by the return of glowing energy IN

our days- oh glorious SUNSHINE!

51 days of gray! That was the statistic shared by our local weatherman the other day. I guess that would be the reason that so many of us in the area were feeling blah, zapped and possibly depressed.

BUT the SUN CAME OUT!! Oh it was a glorious Saturday as the gray morning cloudiness dissolved into a pristine cerulean sky with the sun just glowing. What an immediate impact it had on my being! I felt peppier, lighter, happier and it had only just appeared in the sky.

So many people were out walking, even though it was still only 30. We all wanted to soak in the sun’s presence. Strangers greeted strangers as they passed on the trail with smiles saying “Isn’t this a beautiful day!” and “Just had to get out and enjoy!”.

The good news is that the sun is expected to shine for 8 days in a row. We are all ecstatic! Fingers crossed that it will continue even longer… oh how glorious you are, sun.
