A beautiful day. Sun. Warmth.
Breeze. Comfort. What is it about a beautiful day that can change things? No
matter what happened earlier in the day there is something about going outside
on a beautiful day and washing yourself of it. It’s cleansing. You can walk
outside and close your eyes, feeling the
sun wrap itself around you while taking a deep breath letting the fresh air
fill your lungs and exhaling almost as if what was in there before was toxic.
What we do with this day is not important, run, bike, hike, read a book at the
park or simply lay out maybe listening to music. There is something very
therapeutic and cathartic about something so simple yet we often take it for
granted. If you close your eyes, can you see the brightness behind your eyelids,
maybe it yellow or orange. Can you feel the sun’s rays dancing across your
body? Can you taste the fresh air when you inhale and feel relief when you
exhale? Can you feel your body responding to the power of the sun and other
nature? It is calming, soothing, relaxing. It’s freeing.
Too often in our busy lives we
forget that there is a world out there that is not connected to the Internet.
It’s a world full of wonder and adventure or maybe just a good jog, walk with
the dog, or chapter of a book. Days like this are days that bring people
together say for cookouts and such. There is an amazing power in a day like
this that tangibly can’t be felt or seen and it is often these intangible
things that we take for granted yet mean so much.
