Spring and Sunshine – Don’t Fight It!

Standard

sunshine

Do you ever get the feeling that humans are hardwired to see a little sun, feel a little warmth and want nothing more but to lay out in it for hours on end, shunning any and all responsibilities and basic biological needs? Good, I knew I wasn’t the only one. I bet the term “senioritis” doesn’t come from being burnt out on school, it comes from wanting to do everything else – spring comes around and all of the sudden BAM! No one wants to work, no one wants to sit inside.

How do you combat it? Well in my opinion why SHOULD you combat it. We just came out of four (or more depending on where you live) months of gray, gloomy winter weather. Go outside and enjoy. Guaranteed if you give in for the first few days rather than fight it for weeks, it’ll be easier to get over. Check out this article I found on sunshine and mood.

Basically what I’m saying is, I plan on taking my daughter out and enjoying the weather this weekend! I hope you do too.
