Vitamin D

When I'm being good and remember to take my vitamins, I take Vitamin D because it has so many wonderful, healthy properties. But the best Vitamin D is direct from the source, when you can really feel the sun healing. We've all been so sick lately, so sick that it's started make our minds and spirits sick and sad, too, so that we spent all day snapping at each other and just being generally grumpy.

We left the house, found some serious sunshine, and it was good, the kind of good where you just stop and soak it all in. We found a big open area and just let the boys stretch their legs and run, find big leaves, and play hide n seek.

They've started to hold hands when they walk places. It makes my heart explode in ways that I did not ever think possible.

Then on our way out, we found all of these yellow flowers and yellow is such my happy color. Amongst the yellow flowers, monarchs danced around and over our heads. It was one of those moments where you just breathe deep and count your blessings that you're there in that moment.

I might still be germy and gross, but if I could bottle yesterday's dose of sunshine? I think I'd never be sick again.

I'm glad that made you all feel better. We did the same thing. Just sitting outside in the sun made all the difference in the world yesterday :)

1. I can't believe Tommy is walking around holding hands with Luke, it was like just yesterday he was shooting out your hoo-haw on the stairs.

2. I LOVE that last photo. It just screams to me, but totally in a good way not in a scary way like your cloud picture from last week.

Lovely!

Hope everyone is on the mend or even better - totally healthy again! I have much sympathy as I am getting a cold myself - yuck!

Sunshine is seriously such a cure all, in the moment.
