Let's let the sun shine in. That is a song by The Fifth Dimension and I am sure I am dating myself here. The first part of the song is called Aquarius but ends with the best part, "Let The Sun Shine In" (link below). The lyrics are very simple, 'let the sun shine in" and "open up your heart and let it shine on in".
Where I live in the northwest part of the US, it's been rainy and gray for over 2 weeks or maybe longer. It seems much longer since I have seen the sun. I was inspired to write today by the sun. It's shining big today and my sweet kitty, Tobe, is taking it all in. It can impact us physically and emotionally. Being from the southern area of the country, North Carolina, there seems to be more sun or that could be my imagination.
Do you feel brighter and lighter when the sun is shining? It feels that way without question. Even when it's cold and sunny it simply has a different feel and impact on us. Back to the topic of let the sun shine in. I write a lot about our thoughts and our feelings. We have the opportunity to choose how we feel and what we think as human beings and we can decide to let the sun shine in.
Granted on those long dark, rainy and gray days, it can have an effect of a sluggish, down sensation. Then I recall how in the heat of the summer I wanted to stay in a dark cool place becasue it felt like I was melting. I don't always chose well, but this time through the gray days, I made a decision to be thankful for the rain. That is not always easy is it?
But as the song says, open up your heart and let the sun shine in. If it's not shining outside, make your own version of sunshine with a happy song, a fun movie, visit with a good friend. Appreciate what is around you and those around you, people, pets, all of it. Just open up your heart and let it shine.
