Hey y'all,
Can you believe it? Today it got up to 67 degrees with plenty of bright sunshine. I find it so much easier to live, move, create, think, and enjoy when there's hot weather, sunshine, shorts, t-shirts, green grass, more smiles on people's faces, and flip flops. Aside for days when the heat is scorching, there's so much to do, and so much life. Due to my upbringing in the 50th state, the sun doesn't bother me because I don't burn.

I also enjoy spending more time outdoors because of the longer days. Sunlight exposure encourages the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes a feeling of well-being. That's one reason why I love summer. Spring is a very close second, especially near dawn and dusk.
This afternoon I fiddled about outdoors the whole time. I genuinely feel cooped up when I spend too much time indoors. Even when I'm being productive I still feel weighed down, like I'm missing something. But when I go outside for a walk or a run or even just to sit on my front porch taking in the surroundings of the farm, my mood is elevated and I just feel more energized.
I love the outdoors. Thank you, Lord!
