Spring arrived just when I needed it most. Isn't it comforting how that always happens each year?

No matter what the day throws at me or what's worrying my mind, a few minutes (or longer) in the sun can perform wonders. I've been soaking it up every chance I get — carrying my lunch outside, reading a book in the backyard, grilling out, even carrying my laptop out there to get some work done. The pollen count is at an all-time high at the moment, but the sun has too strong a draw. The consequences are worth it.

In classic spring fashion, we've been having a gray rainy day for every warm sunny day. The back-and-forth between the two just makes me appreciate the sunshine even more. Yesterday, after storming all day, the sun came out for an hour as it was setting and I could physically feel a difference down in my bones. Feeling really grateful for the sun these days.
