I think I might be the only Californian excited to see the sunshine today… after a week of rain and dreary skies. This mama needs her sunshine. Sunshine makes me happy.
The past few days have been a rough one for me. I have been feeling like a Debbie Downer, negative, and just not my chipper self. I felt off. I was not me.
I was sharing my concern and frustration to a few trusted friends, and they suggested that my Vitamin D levels were probably off (or way low). I never even thought about it. But it began to make sense as February has always been a rough month for me… typically a cold, dreary, rainy month.
I decided to take matters in my own hand an purchase some over the counter Vitamin D… as well as take advantage of the break in the clouds this afternoon and just bask in the sunshine.
It is amazing how a little vitamin D and sunshine has helped me de-funk my mood.
In addition to my self-medication of vitamin D and sunshine, I am also plugging in and fully relying on God… more. Knowing that and trusting in Him to be my light when my world seems dark and dreary. Playing worship music, digging into the Word, and really opening up my heart have helped me gain perspective on my emotions.
So here I sit, snuggling the T man while we watch Turbo… slowly starting to feel back to normal. Thanks to the sunshine. Mama is now aware of this issue and I am going to do my best to stay on top of this until the sun is shining always this summer.

The cold and rainy weather definately gets me down and miserable. I can’t wait until the sun comes back out.
Summer is by far my favourite season for weather. Just thinking about sunny weather is making me feel warmer. Hah
