Sunny days

.
Sunny days are good days. In most cases...
On top of that, sunny days have a lot of connotations ~ a lot of ‘extra’ meanings attached to them as well.

Whether you like the sun, or rather stay away from its warm, bright energy ~ on most occasions sunny days are ‘feel good’ days. Days that can give us energy, that makes us feel vitalized.
Sometimes the bright light of the midday sun lets us see pictures that are way more clear than we are used to. Literally and figuratively. And that then, is what sunglasses are for. Again, literally and figuratively.

When our lives are filled with sunny days ~ it tends to say that our lives are easy. Without obstacles, unfolding dramas, or other distractions. Wen we are walking on sunshine, everything in our lives is going our way...

On the other hand, when things get a little dark and gloomy ~ we may choose to lift our spirits with a cup of ‘liquid sunshine’. A ‘cup of Joe’ to make everything look a little brighter.

Patagonia has lots of sunny days. The temperature is described as a ‘dry heat’. And the pizza restaurant in town says that their pizza is healthy.
The landscape is surprisingly green. The afternoon thundershowers are responsible for that. Yet it is dry enough for everything to be dusty. Something you might not even notice as you drive through the area, until you leave the paved roads and venture out on the unpaved, or dirt roads.
And in this harsh, yet green place there are an incredible amount of hummingbirds to be seen. Tiny, fragile looking creatures that are hard to notice once they make it to the branches of the old mesquite trees. They are enjoying the sun. They are flocking to the feeders people hang outside, filled with sugar-water. And as long as the days are sunny, as long as they are being fed by their human admirers ~ their days are sunny on more than one level...

in a sense, our lives are similar. Even when the weather is sunny ~ even when our days seem filled with sunshine; when we leave the known, paved roads, we are bound to leave traces. To stir up dust. Even in a landscape that is otherwise green...
Sunny days are to be cherished ~ if not in the literal sense, than most certainly looking at it from a figurative perspective. Yet even sunny days bring their own dust; their own dark side in a sense.

For us as unique, powerful individuals it is how we grow. Through enjoying the sunny days, just as we deal with the dusty heat it can bring to our paths...
