hellooooo...Sun...are you there?

So around these parts it has been consistently gloomy, dark, and overall, awful outside for a couple weeks now. Whatever weather-related phenomena you might include as part of that description, we've probably had...and, to be honest, it's really starting to get me down...

It's like I've been missing my morning coffee for the past two weeks (figuratively speaking - i'm not coffee addicted, yet). The sunshine gives me energy to start my day right. When I first see those rays coming through my window, it's evidence that another day has begun and need to greet it. It's a hopeful symbol that says "Hey...GET UP...and do amazing things today!" I'm like a swing on a playground; I need a little push to get me started. Just seeing the Sun when I wake up can do that for me.

Call me sentimental, but it's true. I would rather have the warmth, blue skies and light that sunshine brings than the cold, windy (AKA - EVEN colder), and rainy conditions the other side brings. It's not even a fair fight to me; It's a landslide victory, actually.

I'm ready for the sunshine again and I guess I'll just be singing "Rain, Rain, Go, Away" until things change.
