sunshine

This week was spring break. I had some things on my to do list, but it started out pretty dreary. Terribly dreary. The rain and cold made it feel more like winter break. 

I succumbed to the emptiness. Just for a bit. I let napping and movie watching consumed the time.

Then there was the sun. 

The sun and an amazing desire to get things done. 

A long visit with a friend. Painting. Gardening. Coffee in the sunshine. The house filled with glorious natural light.

Sunshine is an amazing cure. Somewhere in the middle of all these simple activities, I felt awake. I wasn’t just going through the motions of life. 

Purpose. I enjoyed the purpose of small things done in the sunshine.
