My Place In The Sun




This morning started just like most mornings except for one thing: the sun came out. I set up a spot to work on my quilt at my kitchen table but I started to notice myself becoming hypnotized by the warm rays coming through the window. When I came to Sweden on vacation during the summer I used to laugh at the Swedes I passed at the outdoor cafes in this same position. Now I really get where they are coming from, winter in Sweden is long so when the sun comes out you best soak it up. It seems that there is some sort of vitamin D deficiency that drives me to savor every ray of sunlight that makes its way through the Nordic sky. The satisfaction from sun filled moments like the one above seem to last all day long, at least longer than my coffee buzz that drops off like a fast sinking stone at about 11am....
