AHHHHH!!!!

Guess what's behind me on the counter?  Yup, the groceries.  Except I can't care about that right now.  

BECAUSE THE SUN IS SHINING SO I CANNOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

It came out on my way home from the grocery store.  I considered ditching my car so I could just stand outside but since I was only a mile from home I figured I'd be responsible, finish the drive, and THEN stand outside.

I got 3 texts within 5 minutes asking me if I was seeing the sun.  My sister-in-law, my mom, and a dear co-worker.  Thank you, Shandella, Mom, and Ashley for making sure I was seeing the light.

I stood in my backyard, face turned upward like a flower, eyes closed, tears streaming down my face, the gentle breeze blowing like the breath of Jesus.  Hallelujah, Glory!

And then the @#$% dog started barking and scared the crap out of me.

I took pictures of the sun shining on my floor and my porch.  I even took a selfie out on the porch:

I don't even think I can begin to explain to you how different the sun makes me feel.  So I'm not even gonna try.

I came inside and checked the internet.  One of you posted a picture of the sun breaking thru the clouds to my facebook wall.  One of you wrote a comment "The sun is out!"  One of you sent me a private message saying you see the sun along with a picture.  Thank you, Denise, Sarah, and Danielle.

One of you called me to make sure I was seeing the sun.  Thank you, Gina.

I feel completely loved and slightly giddy.

Also, I posted this photo this morning on Facebook:

My status said: "wearing this as a reminder on sunless day #10. there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for. I'm grateful for my beautiful friend, Wanda at Pearls N Joy who made this ring. And i'm grateful for Ann Voskamp and her amazing book "one thousand gifts". And i'm grateful for Courtney who gave me Ann's book. You ladies bless my life"

You guys, ANN VOSKAMP 'LIKED' MY PHOTO.

My life is now complete.

I'm sorry for the drama, apparently the sun will do that to me.

Have an amazing, sun filled day!!
