“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

Theme song#1: “It’s A Sunshine Day” the Brady Bunch

Theme song#2: “Sunshine On My Shoulder” John Denver

Today was the yummiest of days, according to the sun.

It was yellow. it was warming. it was sunny-side-up and good enough to eat.

I love it when the air is so saturated with yellowy sunshine, that I feel like I can take a bite out of its golden goodness.

Mmmmm.

Glorious.

My heart has felt like this lately:

“His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind. – Anne Bronte

I open up to the choice of happiness, then recoil when change seems too much.

Today the sun gave me solace.

Each time I stepped out the door, I was greeted with open arms by my old, jolly friend.

Meet Miss Allison.

she and Mr. Sun have a lot in common.

doesn’t it just look like all of its’ finger-like rays are tickling her so?

go see lots more fun yellow entries at iheartfaces!

I was hugged, when its arms enveloped me so tightly after a dragging-of-feet kind of morning.

I was loved when my 4-year-old invited me to sit at the kitchen table in its lovely rays; bursting through the window glass to have lunch with her. “Come sit in the sunny sunshine with me, mama!” she chimed, as she patted the seat next to her with her chubby little hand. And I smiled as I received warm and gooey kisses on my skin from the both of them.

That is my favorite kind of sun.

Giddy.

I, along with the earth, was bathed in its virtue as all around had new charm. new life. new beginnings.

I was healed when it curled its pointer finger at me, beckoning me to partake of the Vitamin D it so freely gives.

I was inspired when it whispered in my ear to grab my camera and capture something, anything. After all, the sun is my sidekick in this crazy passion of mine. Couldn’t do it without him.

I was a sunflower, turning my head to find it at every part of the passing day.

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” – Walt Whitman

I was reminded of how I shall not keep it to myself, but give it away.

God is good.

Oh, sun. It’s been so long.

I needed you today.

and you listened like a good friend should.

Next time don’t stay away so long.

Ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone,

It’s not warm when you’re away,

Ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone,

And you’re always gone too long,

Anytime you go away.

Well, then it’s like, you know… dark.

What kind of sun is your favorite???

warm fuzzies,

Dana
