Day 18: Natural Light

I'm in Seattle, WA right now to somewhat testing the waters to see if I could handle living here with the perpetual rain.  I used to live down in Oregon and eventually the lack of sunshine became a bit too much for me - so I moved to Colorado with the promise of 300 days of sun.  It was a good move for my Seasonal Affective Disorder, and whenever I endure a stretch of many days without the sun, I am reminded of this happy inducing element in my life.

When I got here last week the sun was out and the skies were clear - and it was gorgeous, but I knew this was abnormal and requested the rain to return.  It returned a few days ago and it's been rainy ever since, but what I noticed today was that despite the overcast dreary feel, there was still a lot of natural light pouring through the windows at the house where I'm currently staying.

So despite not seeing the sun itself, I was delighted in the natural light and thankful for its existence.  And in truth, sometimes the overcast days are inspiring.
