Today, for some of our THPL community member’s hope sprang eternal; it spawned from a ray of sunshine and a warm summer breeze that drove up the temperature to over 70 degrees. And boy did it feel nice. The weather has such a big impact on those of us who live in a “four-season” geography. And on days like today, we are compelled to get outside and take advantage of the great weather and the extra dose of Vitamin D that we get when we are outside. The feel of summer after a tough winter is energizing. It seeps into our bones and our soul and it makes us “rise above” the drudgery that life can deal us. And as we enjoy all that is perfect about a sunny and warm day on a normal April day it is good to reflect for a moment, to think about how we can get to this happy state without the big blue sky and the warm temperatures. Can we bring our “summer” attitude with us at all times? We can at least give it a try – so put that blue sky picture and feeling in our head and remember to bring it out whenever you need. Summer might, after all, be only a thought away…..what a nice thought indeed……

Loving life, with that summer feeling in my heart and my head
