SUNSHINE

I never learned to appreciate the sunshine, the rays that would hit my pale skin while walking to my car after work. I never learned how much sunshine could actually help me in daily life. I hated the sunshine. I hated the heat. The beads of sweat would run down my cheek while walking to my car. That was California heat, Washington heat is much different, It is sweet like honey dripping from a hive. It is warm like a soft blanket on a winter night when your room has two concrete walls. When the sunshine would come out I would avoid it at all costs back in California. Now I cherish it like a handmade gift given to a mother by her young child.
