The sun is out today, and has been for the last few days. I love the rain that we normal get here in the northwest corner of the US, but I love when the sun is out too! I tried living in a sunny place for a few years and as much as it was nice to see the sun 80% of the time I missed the rain and it was too hot. However I still the the sun! I have homework to get done but it is hard focusing when the sun is out. I have brought my laptop outside in hopes that I could get my paper written while enjoying the sun on my back and here I am writing a blog :).
The sun makes me think of all the things I love. The things that can make me smile. Here are a few (in no order):
1. Ice cream
2. Sunshine
3. Rain
4. Hugs
5. Blowing Bubbles
6. Hot Tubing
7. Swimming
8. Walks
9. Bike Rides
10. Camping
11. The beach
12. Friends
13. Cupcakes
14. Chi Tea
15. Strawberries
16. Family
17. My cat
18. Baths
19. Listening to Music
20. Swinging
I think it is good to list the things that we love. It is good to remember when things are good and when things are not so good, all the wonderful things we have in our lives and the things that can make us smile. I realize that I think too much about the future. What I hope to have or do one day. I have been trying to focus more on the now. What can I do right now? What are the good things in my live and not focusing on the things that could be. I am not saying that it is bad to focus on the future. Having goals and dreams are good, but it needs to be balanced with the things in the now too. Speaking of the now I better get back to it. Enjoying the sun while it lasts and hoepfully getting some of my homework done as well.
