Sunshine – my word of the week

March 14, 2014 in Life

Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.

– Helen Keller

Endless days of rain and wintry weather. Pale faces from never ending days inside. Dark nights and even darker mornings.

Then the sun shines again and everything feels better. Colours appear in the hedgerows, a sign of life and hope. The feeling of sunshine on our face makes us all smile again.

I love the Spring and I love the return of the sunshine even more.

Although I do need to go and clean my windows.

      Thank you and yes everyone seems to be agreeing about the windows

  • The Reading Residence March 14, 2014 at 8:12 pm

    I feel exactly the same, and laughed at the windows comment – yep! The dust particles also show up more than I’m comfortable with in sunlight, too 😉 Thanks for joining in with #WotW x
