Sunny Day

Depending on where you live, today was a beautiful day. The sun was shining vividly in the bright blue sky which instantly made everyone's day. All around people seemed happier than usual, which is understandable given all the awful weather we had to endure over the course of the winter. This sudden shift in temperature was certainly a welcome one. Sunlight and good weather make people happy. It's almost a universal truth.

All around people were going outside to sit in the sun. Not doing anything at all actually, just sitting. It's probably becasue of the shift in the weather that people enjoy these early days of Spring more than any other. The long winter is over and we can look forward to a good period of sunshine and warmth. Minor complications seem to be exactly that, minor. They don't matter at the moment as we're too busy enjoying the sun.

Unfortunately this appreciation will eventualy fade. We'll eventually get used to the weather conditions and the minor complications will start bothering us, which is a shame. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could feel the same appreciation for this weather every day. Stop worrying about the small stuff and appreciate life for what it's giving you. It's days like these when I just flat out refuse that life is all bad.

Look at him. This must be the happiest guy in the world right now.
There are reasons we can't feel like this forever though. Hell if we felt like this all the time it would stop feeling special which would be a waste. It would be nice if we could have this effect a bit more though. Like a personal sun in your house which you can turn on if you're feeling a bit down. Actually thinking about it such a thing would be amazing, though a bit impractical. What would be even more amazing, to me at least, would be the possibilty to just take the roof of your house for a few hours. My room is in the attic of the house and I only have a roof window to let those rays of sunshine in. Furthermore I spend a lot of time behind the computer, sometimes working, sometimes not. It would be so cool if I could just take off the roof for a few hours and enjoy the sun to the fullest whilst sitting behind my PC.

That probably sounded really weird but it's one of those things I'd love to see happen. They never do however because the ideas are about as impractical as they come and I'm okay with that. A simpler solution would be to just go outside with a laptop and find a nice place to get some work done. We often see students do this in the summer so why can't adults. Problem for me is that my laptop won't survive for 5 minutes without power. Regardless I always find a reason to go outside on days like these. Because it's weather like this that just begs to be enjoyed to the fullest without overly thinking about it. Even if it's only whilst biking the way home. Soak up those rays of sunshine and enjoy them. You'll likely find that your worries will fade to the background for they do not belong in a place such as this. They're only minor and you have better things to do at the moment. Things such as enjoying the weather.

  1. Ah yes enjoying the sunshine, I had a glorious 30 minutes of it after school and I was so very happy and content just standing in it haha.
    I guess I must have even sung along to my I-pod because I was getting strange looks. But I didn't really care though, too happy with the sunshine to notice.
    Winter, begone!

  3. Walking around on a beautiful day always makes me happy and it's nice to just see people sit, or stand :p, outside and enjoy the weather for a change. As you say Hanny, the weather gives you a content feeling.

    As for you Qurx I still think you should see your family doctor(huisarts :p) about the headaches. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could just walk around outside in your t-shirt and still feel comfortable.
