Sun-kissed that is. This is one change I can take no credit for, but it needs acknowledgment, because along with it comes a major change in attitude. Oh glowing yellow orb in the sky, thank you for gifting us with your presence. Today marked the first official “we saw 60, and we kicked it’s ass!” day of the year here in south-central Alaska. 64. That’s what the truck temperature display said. 64 degrees.
When you spend a winter in darkness, and much of the spring in wetness, these bright sunny days mean more. When it gets warm enough to strip down to a T-shirt, you’ve hit the big time. Went for a ride out “the road”, found a place to park, and went walking. In the sun. Stopped to lay down and let the rays beat on my face. Eyes closed. Blinded even through my lids by the brightness of the sun. Felt my cheeks tingle under those rays. Danced silently inside my head with pure joy at the peace and satisfaction of it all. Sun kissed.
