Day 1146

Sunshine! We all crave it and, to a certain degree, it offers a healthy dose of vitamin D! Lilly and the boys will become cat-like and follow the rays throughout the day.

Although the sun, with its warmth and beautiful, yellow glow, calls to us, there is something about a cloudy, rainy day that holds its own alure. On those days, we change our plans to burrow inside and enjoy the grayness. There are certainly chores we have been procrastinating about, but when we have satisfied the need to accomplish SOMETHING, we then have the serene pleasure of hunkering down with a puzzle, great book or a movie we have been wanting to enjoy! Those days are magic!

There is one wonderful memory where I was lucky enough to combine rain and shine! My dear Marlene and I decided to pursue one of our many creative adventures and take a walk in the rain. Puddles were also part of the experience, so we danced, sang, laughed and gloried in our happiness! Eventually, we ended up swimming in the river (fully clothed) and floated down until we were close to home. I would not repeat that at my age, but the memory remains with me to revisit with the unbridled joy!

Embrace the sun, the rain and every day! When those memories are tucked away, we get to live them again and again!
