Spring Fever

The sun is shining and with temperatures around 50 degrees, it feels like spring here in Michigan. Finally. It's giving me spring fever. I don't want to be cooped up inside in my office, I want to be outside. I want to be breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the return of green grass and colorful budding flowers. I thought I might be the only one, but a couple of my friends shared they too have spring fever.

Here's to spring fever!

Solar Power

I ate my bowl of cereal this morning standing in the middle of the kitchen, with my body towards the big picture window. The window faces east and the sunshine was gloriously bright as it came up over the horizon. I had to squint my eyes to eat, but the light and warmth on my face and body was worth it.

And once I was done with my cereal, I closed my eyes and just stood in the sunlight for a minute. Standing there in my polka-dot pajamas, eyes closed, soaking in the light, I couldn't help but smile.

I was picturing my neighbor looking out his window into our kitchen, and seeing what a strange, solar-powered person I am.
