Sunshine on my shoulders....
Yesterday, the sunshine poured down and this morning it is doing the same. After a stretch of gray skies and gloomy days, the sun felt extra special.
I found myself sitting outside at a softball game, soaking it all in. I rolled up my jeans, let the sun warm my skin, and just sat there enjoying not only the game, but the very excitement of the sun rays.
I also was engaged in some healthy conversations with friends as we waited for the next batter to come up to the plate. And...it was so much fun listening to the teams doing their chants back and forth at each other.
Isn't it funny how something so simple can feel so healing? It can change your entire outlook and it honestly feels so good.
I totally enjoyed the sunshine as it was resting on my shoulders. It was a beautiful Saturday!
Shug....🌞
It sounds wonderful! I love your new header. Sitting in the sun with the hummingbird and coffee. I'm trying to see if those are flip flops!
ReplyDeleteThose are not flip flops...I've got to buy some new ones for this year.
DeleteShug, there you are again, looking pretty and peaceful as ever sipping coffee on your front porch. I would love to have a hot cup of coffee right there with you and chat about so many things. So glad you are getting some sunshine after all that rain.
ReplyDeleteI wish you only the best May days, Shug.
I enjoy making these photos...It would be nice for a group of us to gather on the porch and enjoy some good fellowship.. I would love that...
DeleteAh yes, "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy....." As a former long-time Coloradoan, these words from John Denver make me smile.
ReplyDeleteI actually looked that song up after the words came to my mind...I guess I had forgotten that this was a John Denver song. Sunshine does make me smile..
DeleteSunshine makes all the difference in my mood and outlook on life! Your post reminded me of going to my son's baseball games years ago!
ReplyDeleteMine too Jeanette. I think my serotonin levels get low when we have no sunshine for a few weeks. I love watching the kids play softball or baseball...always fun..
Deletewe got rain yesterday, but full of sun today....
ReplyDeletehappy sunshine....
We need both the rain and sunshine, but after a week of gloomy skies, I was so happy to see the sun..
DeleteDear Shug, we are supposed to get rain tonight here in Montreal. But both sunshine and rain are needed, and now the flowers are starting to bloom as well as the leaves on the trees, which is lovely to see!
ReplyDeleteThe illustrations you are sharing are lovely, dear friend. They made me smile. Thank you so much for sharing.
I hope you have a wonder filled week ahead!
Sounds like the perfect day
ReplyDeleteNow I have that John Denver song in my head - love it! I love your header too
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a perfectly lovely day, sunshine, baseball, friends!
Oh Shug, I love your jeans, blouse and sandals - the whole outfit. Very attractive photo of you. I didn't know your hair was long. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice sunshiny day. You deserve it.
I'm so glad. And I love your header! ❤️
ReplyDeleteGood source of vitamin D, too.
ReplyDeleteThis was a cup full of sunshine to start our day! Thank you! I love your photo on the porch...what a beautiful scene! And yes, sitting with friends/family and watching the kids play ball is a sweet memory! I remember those happy days when our boys were young and we'd sit and cheer them on! Happy days that fly by too quickly! Praying for Sam and for you as you continue in this journey you are presently traveling. May the Lord bring many sunshiny days your way.
ReplyDeletePraying for Sam and for you and family.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm glad to read that Sam's doctor did allow him to go ahead with the treatment. Praying that he is more rested this morning (Monday) as I am sure he spent a lot of time sleeping and resting over the weekend. Thanks for keeping us updated.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am glad that you were able to get out on Saturday and enjoy some of that beautiful sunshine. xx
sunshine and warmth is one of the reasons we spend our winters in Florida. I do find it healing too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, sunny day you had, Shug! That song has always been a favorite of mine. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in your header photo!!!!!!!! So pretty. I read about Sam. Does he get nauseated too? So rough. I am so sorry. Hope you have another wonderful day today.
ReplyDeleteSunshine is such a mood booster. It was grey and wet here yesterday but the sun is shining again today! It sounds like you had a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteYes! I know this feeling too dear Friend. We had sun WITH WARMTH here in the northwoods over the weekend. It just recharges the batteries. We felt productive and got a lot done around our properties. So grateful for God's gifts! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have sun today. Finally!
ReplyDeleteI'm singing right along with y'all (and John Denver). How about that one from Jesus Christ, Superstar ... 'Let the sunshine in, the SON-shine in.'!
ReplyDeleteLoving this cheery post, and all the cute pictures--especially the top "Good morning" one.
