Now, please don't mistake my appreciation for sunny days with an appreciation for hot ones. The two do not mix well, in my book :)... (The heat of the summertime South is probably the only item I have to put on my list of why I wouldn't want to move back there...). But a beautiful sunny day in the Fall or Spring... Now there's something to be grateful for! Especially in Washington State.
I think I started to really appreciate sunny days more after moving here. Because, let's be honest: most of the year, it's pretty overcast and drizzly in these parts. I didn't realize how wonderful and beautiful the sunshine is until I didn't have it all the time. And it's not that Alabama and Panama never have their cloud-cover. I mean, they get some fierce thunderstorms with some of the darkest skies I've ever seen. But those storms are fleeting, and rarely (if ever) last more than a day at a time. So I saw a lot of sunshine, and I admit that I took it for granted. It was only after I was living here and beautiful, cooler sunny days were harder to come by that I started to appreciate the beauty of them.
Today was one such beautiful sunny day, from start to finish. And it felt really good :).
What are you grateful for today?
