One of my favorite shows on TV is called, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Trust me, the irony is not lost in any aspect of that one! And even more ironically, where I live now is truly always sunny- always! And I am quite possibly the only one in town who doesn't love every single golden drop that drips upon our glistening bodies all summer long. all year long, really.
But today, was different for me. Today, i didn't mind the sun; i didn't even mind the heat. in fact, i actually sort of embraced it. because today, when i walked through the gate to our yard, i saw buckets and whiffle balls and a bat and a frisbee thrown all around in the grass. i saw pinwheels spinning in the feeble breeze. i saw childhood strewn across the yard, and i smiled. it was heaven! i loved how the toys just lay all helter-skelter around the place, but were probably placed with ultra precision during the time of play. i loved how the sidewalk chalk painted the first six stones on the path, but then just lay in a pile before the seventh, as if something else just magically caught her eye! i loved seeing the entire summer lay out before my very eyes! and i loved, for one of the first times in my life, the sun and the warmth that it spread all over my skin and deep into my heart.
