Someone once called me a "child of the light" after seeing how different my attitudes and outlooks on life were after the sun came out in the midst of some cloudy days. I've always known I love the sun, which is one reason I was drawn to move to Colorado - 300 days of sun!
The last 3.5 weeks have been spent in Seattle and Portland in efforts to see if I might be able to handle move back towards the Pacific Northwest, as I do miss the culture but do not miss the rain and bone chilling cold. Crazily, the sun has been out for many of the days I've been here. I want to complain that the Northwest is teasing me, since I have bitter memories of depressing, relentless rain, but it's been so delightful and beautiful.
The folks here say to take Vitamin D and sit under a sun lamp (both of which I did in the past), but nothing beats being able to see the sky and the sun on a regular basis. I think most can relate to this but it's too often taken for granted - especially in places like Colorado.
I suppose I am a "child of the light," as projected, and I am beyond content with the amount of sun that has graced my life recently.
