We all need a little sunshine in our lives now and then. This is especially the case living in the Midwest in January! Not only is the sun shining beautifully here today, but I had the sweetest person brighten my day. She had to come find me this morning (I wasn't in my office) and tell me that my book had kept her up reading until 1 a.m. She also confessed she had to be at the gym by 6 a.m.
This made my day! I know what it's like to stay awake WAY too late just to finish reading a book. (One Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side did that to me.) I only hoped that my book could make someone else lose sleep because of the enjoyment of reading the story.
However, lest we forget, a little sunshine can go a long way. A little makes us feel better, gives us a nice tan, more confidence, and some much needed vitamins. Too much, though, and we'll be burned and miserable. I'm going to remember what this sweet lady said, but I'm not going to claim to be the next Shakespeare. I have lots of learning to do before I can claim that type of talent. But today, a little sunshine gave me more confidence than I've had in a while.
