Today was cool for a summer day, only 20 degrees, but the sky was a brilliant blue with barely a cloud to punctuate it. Honestly, a gorgeous day. A perfect day for me. Not too hot, not windy with a brilliantly bright sky to get lost in. And so, given the unease that the day presented to me, I took sometime to enjoy the day. My ND would be proud of me!
As I walked I spoke with a friend. It was quickly apparent that walking in the shade was chilly, and I sought out a spot that was in full sun. As we spoke I soaked in the sun, warm on my neck. As we searched for answers and ideas, the healing rays of the sun found me. There were moments in our conversation where I drifted, enamoured with the energy filling me.
It was a delightful, simple moment.
It was exactly what I needed.
Moments soaking in ideas.
Moments soaking in the sun.

Moments D130: Rays of Sun
Today was a lazy day. I awoke to the sound of my phone ringing and I lazily pulled myself out of bed mid-morning. This was a first for me, in many, many weeks.
The morning was bright and beautiful outside but instead of getting out and enjoying the sun, I hunkered down and dealt with some unpacking and organizing that needed to be done. By early afternoon I felt I had accomplished something and I was ready to get out of the apartment, so I headed to our baseball team pool party.
It was a quiet gathering (at that point in time anyways), but lovely none-the-less. The moment that brought me the most joy and smiles though was not the cannon ball into the pool nor lazing in the cool waters for a bit….it was when I jumped into the floating chair. Once in the chair, I closed my eyes and soaked up the last rays of summer. I was no longer part of the conversation going on around me but I was listening to the banter. It was a moment of quiet and peace amoungst much laughter and words. For me, it was the moment that defined my day. Finding peace and quiet and an appreciation for the sun warming my body.
Moments in sunshine.
Moments in peace.

Moments - D40; Healing Sunshine
Today they were calling for rain. I cancelled my pick-up volleyball due to the high POP. Sadly, it didn’t rain until much later in the day. Talk about disappointed! It was also a hard day for me on a personal level with much emotion flowing from me.
Still, there was a moment within that cloud of disappointment and angst that brought a smile. A smile beyond the the turmoil.
This came to me early in the morning when the sun broke from the clouds and washed over me in warmth. I sat in the sun, feeling its warm upon my face for quite some time in the quiet of the cool morning. I let the tears flow. I let them dry in the sun.
Yes, some moments can really be that simple. Appreciating the healing warmth of the sun on a cool morning.
