Mr Sun Listened?

This is incredible, incredulous, fabulous even!

Ever since my post telling Mr Sun that every time he came out I would appreciate it, the weather here has been incredible! At lunch today my friends and I went to the nearby shopping center for hot dogs from the hot dog stand, and for sunshine! I started off with my cardigan and my jacket but ended up in my t shirt.

It's amazing,

I cannot begin to express the feeling that wells up inside of me when the warm weather comes back. Except that I just did begin, so I guess it'd be more proper to say that I cannot FULLY express the feeling.

Everything that is good comes with the sun, except maybe sunburns, but flowers start to come alive, summer vacation grows nearer and wonderful memories from the last time the heat crept up on us, float to the surface.

I remember my best friend Carmen visiting during March Break a year ago - I hadn't seen her in a year, and it's been a year again (Whaat? We said we wouldn't let this happen again?)

I remember hanging out with my now-boyfriend for the first time. It was supposed to be a big bowling expedition, but it failed and turned into a "video games in my basement" day.

I remember visiting Niagara Falls with my family, going to the butterfly conservatory and lazing around the small "Las Vegas for kids and families" like place.

I remember feeling this way - relieved that winter is over, soaking up the sun heating my leg through the crack in the curtains in class, and just plain HAPPY.

It's amazing. Why do I still live here where I have to put up with so many months of cold? It's not worth it, no wonder those who live in southern places seem happier and more full of life, they don't have to hybernate every winter.
