i lift my face...

...to the sun

a small snipet of sun was in the living room - and gracie zeroed in on it... like a flash she was basking... relishing in the warmth it offered - and for just a very quick moment...

she lifted her little face - to catch the rays...

i remember doing that very early on... lifting my face up to the sun. i still do it to this day: when i'm cold - if i want comfort - to feel peace - gain a sense of calm... there is something about the sun and what it offers. it's life giving in so many ways - and when it doesn't shine on us... well, we feel deprived somehow... as if we're missing out... how dare it not come forth and present itself upon our lives - as though we're entitled to what it brings.

we should be ever so grateful for sunny days... for the work the sun does for us and our planet - and like gracie - lift our faces in wonder and be thankful when it's shining for us... for truly that makes

it a

happy day.....
