A Moment of Sunshine

This is a quick reminder to myself, and maybe to you too if you need to hear it, that sometimes the sun returns in January for a little while and sometimes you can have a nice afternoon after a tough morning.

It was absolutely pouring rain and grey and cloudy when I woke up this morning. I struggled to get out of bed. I poured myself a giant cup of coffee and struggled to get started with a new knitting project. I couldn't see how it was going to be a good day. It was a struggle all around.

Then, the sun came out. I sat with my face tilted into the light for a minute and I set the knitting aside so it wouldn't continue to frustrate me. I did a workout on YouTube. I took a hot shower. I got dressed in a cute dress, a cozy sweater, and my favourite necklace. I drank some water.

It's raining again already, but I feel so much better. Sometimes we just need a breath and a moment of sunshine.
