Sunshine

When it got really gray and rainy for a week or so in August I thought I was going to go crazy. I LOVE the sunshine and that week made me really dread winter. Lack of sunshine is a problem in Oregon--new studies have even come out showing that Oregonians lack Vitamin D. Seriously lack it. I've known people who have struggled with depression who, once they began a hefty dose of Vitamin D, things were much better.

Anyway, all that to say I didn't know if I would make it through the winter. I have had a lot going on over the last couple years, and it's been a struggle just to get through that. Add the gray of winter and a small house where we'd be cooped up all the time, and I was sure I would go nuts.

Thankfully, we've had a relatively dry winter, with an unusual amount of sunshine. The last few days have been beautifully sunny and I've enjoyed it so much. I'm convinced that the sunshine has been just for me. Not really, but it has definitely helped me. :)

Here are a few pics from yesterday of the girls enjoying the sunshine.
