on a little vitamin D...

The weekend is over, and I am back to the daily grind. It always amazes me how quickly time goes by when I am having fun! While driving home from my weekend adventure, I was thinking about my week ahead; my blog, my homework, my life in general. Just at that moment, I took note of the beautiful sun that was shining, and I was so grateful for that very second. I love the sun. I love the warmth of the sun, and I love how the sun has a way of elating my mood. It was at that moment that I realized how important the sun is to the average human being, yet how we take the sun for granted. I live in the Midwest, and statistics show that in the month of January, the sun only makes an appearance once or twice during the entire month! That is horrible, and now I know why January is one of my least favorite months! The sun is such a wondering gift in itself, just shining. I love to walk out my back door, and see the sun shining...I know it will be a good day. Even if things go down hill from that moment on, I know I had a great start to my day, just by seeing the sun shine! Just like plants, flowers, and grass, the sun enables us to bloom, and grow!

Today's activity: sunshine
By definition: rays of sunlight

Sun is an excellent source of vitamin D, but in its natural state. Sun naturally elevates moods, makes people smile, and birds sing. Sun, or vitamin D, is a great source of calcium. Sun also helps to regulate blood pressure, and strengthens the immune system. Sun relieves stress, muscle tension, and helps humans unwind.  Sun helps us to feel rejuvenated and have more energy. It has been proven that SUN IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT KEY TO HEALTH AND WELL BEING.

Today I encourage you to get outside, and take in some of the sun's rays that we have been blessed with today. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face, and cherish that moment. After all, in just a few short months, the sun will be like a long, lost friend!
