The Sun

A few notes about the sun.


The sun actually shines here. All day long.  It comes back everyday.  Even when it is raining, the sun is shining somewhere nearby and rainbows are commonplace.


I am not used to the sun after 10 years in the Pacific Northwest. There, when the sun actually does shine, it is an event. You feel that you don't have a moment to waste because it may be a very, very long time before you see that thing called the sun again.


It is strange to know that the sun WILL shine tomorrow and the next day and the next. 


I think I can get used to this thing called the sun.

  1. I love the sun commentary--so true. Yesterday was a glorious day in Tacoma--I could sit out on the deck for a while and feel warm. Today we woke up to rain, so enjoy your sun.
