Natural Light

On any given Tuesday/Thursday/Friday, I get to work in the dark, am on my feet in a small operating room (with no windows) for 10 hours, then come home in the dark. When a 24 hour period goes by and I do not see natural sunlight...I get irritable. On the flipside, when I get to leave work early, and it's a gorgeous day...I could literally skip to my car. Then I usually call George up and ask him if a drink on a patio sounds good. He tells me what he's working on, and then I go home, have a drink, and walk the dogs by my lonesome. I usually put some good tunes on in my earbuds, and am in an instant state of happy. If the weather is cold or dreary, there's no place I'd rather be than curled up with a warm drink and a fuzzy blanket. But when the weather is so beautiful, I need those sun rays to hit my face and slide down my arms.

Even a window would be nice. I love this picture...at my future in-laws home...the sun just piercing through the window and illuminating the vintage decor


My family went on a walk with our entourage of dogs at Lake Grapevine last weekend, and that was precisely the environment I needed. I walked my two dogs yesterday around my neighborhood, and it was lovely as well. I think when people are unhappy or in a rut...what they need more than food, or money, or anti-depressants...is a beautiful day, and ONE HOUR where they can just spend it outside.

Teddy (and Stella) need the daylight, too

I can not wait for daylight savings time. I need more light in a day. This sun rising at 8 and setting at 5 is for the birds. Actually, I doubt the birds even like it.....
