"... It's just a season thing. It's just this thing that seasons do. And that's the way this wheel keeps working now." Wheel, John MayerI'm so thankful for Daylight Saving Time. I know a lot of people complain about the lost hour of sleep and the adjustment in general, and I'll admit waking up in pitch black this morning threw me for a bit of a loop, BUT the fact that there was sunshine when I left work and when I got home trumps all of that!
I needed this time change bad. I don't think I ever fully adjusted when Daylight Saving Time ended last year... The fact that days were getting longer was already lifting my spirits. There's just a certain lazy inducing factor when you come home in the dark.
But when there's daylight? There's still so much that can be done in the day! I'm not saying the lack of daylight is what was keeping me from running a marathon or doing a slew of other athletic things, BUT it puts you in this homebody mentality (am I right?) And I love being a homebody as much as the next person. But for everything there is a season. And I am oh so thankful that there are seasons, both in life and in nature. It's so refreshing for mind, body and soul. Truly.
The extra daylight makes me excited for many reasons, namely:
- longer walks with our pup
- bike rides
- drinks and dinner al fresco
- maintaining my sanity in traffic (I think daylight helps with that...)
- the simple psychology that the day does not end when work does
Enjoy the daylight everyone! This girl sure is.
Pretty unrelated, but extra daylight makes me want to be outside more ... and bring the outdoors in! These succulents are adding some new life to our bathroom window.
