Sunshine, a drug of choice

Seriously, few things intoxicate my soul like a sunny day.  The rays literally get under my skin and ooze back out as smiles and boundless energy.  This weekend, I spent most of each day out in the fresh, spring air.  From pruning to planting flowers and veggies to riding bikes and motorcycles to just sitting on the back porch and occasionally sharing a comment with my neighbor (shades of "Home Improvement"), I could feel my muscles and nerves and blood having a barn dance to celebrate, doing a jig to that music only nature can play.  Extreme, you say?  Not to me.  It's been happening for years, and I think happens to everyone.  Sadly, not everyone has learned to recognize, tap in, and let 'er rip!!  Spring fever does not HAVE to make us skip school and work.  It can makes up skip TO school and work.  Try it out.  Get outside, soak in the FREE energy, let it build up inside you, and then watch how it can make every aspect of your life richer and even easier in the most important ways.  Gotta open up and embrace it, though.  Only YOU can let it in and make it happen.  Get yourself under the influence.  Just say "YES!"  You've been challenged, my friend.  As the song says, "I hope you DANCE!"  (From the inside out...)

  1. The sunshine will definitely jump-start the body, soul and mind! I can hear my Mom saying: "It's too pretty to stay inside". Those have been words to live by. Love this blog, Farma Jarma, there's so much truth in it. Hope everyone listens and pays heed to your advice!
