Sunny Weather, Sunny Mood

It's been beautiful weather here the last couple of days. Sunny and warm. The kind of days that remind me why it's so incredible to live here. The kind of days that make me feel blessed. At my core, I am a sun-based, warm weather gal. My life changed the first time I saw a palm tree. It was my first airplane trip, first spring break from college, going to see my love (who eventually became the hubby). When I saw that palm tree as I looked out the window of the airplane, I wondered why no one had ever told me about palm trees before. I think I knew in that moment that my life had so much possibility when before it all seemed so limited. Within 4 months I had moved to that same place. I saw palm trees everyday and still do. Now I even have them in my yard. I can see them from every window of my house. They're still one of the most beautiful trees in the world to me.

It's amazing how a beautiful day can lift your mood. Many things seem possible when the weather is in concert with your true self.

Heidi, where would we be without sunshine? I try to sit in the sun every day for a few mins, or sometimes an hour when I fall asleep in the chair. I feel so much happier when the sun shines.

I don't know about palm trees though. I prefer a good old oak I guess :-)
