Fooled by the Sun

I recently returned from a great trip to upstate New York to visit my grandchildren. I enjoy getting outside during the day, but it is very cold there. I would see the sun come out, get excited, bundle up, and head outside--only to be hit with the bitter-cold air. Why does the sun fool me like that? You would think that I would learn that bright does not mean warm. That sun is pretty tricky if you ask me.

Peaceful Setting

You know how life gets crazy sometimes? We get caught up in all sorts of activities- good and not so good- and life moves quickly by. So I have been thinking about peaceful places where I can relax and renew my spirit. One of those places is our cabin. Sitting outside, listening to the wind blowing through the aspen trees, putting my feet up, enjoying the sun on my face. Ahhh.....
I think we all need more of those places and moments.
