Yay It's Sunny Again in My Neck of the Woods

People who follow me on steemit already know how I feel about rain and the changing weather - rainy, gloomy weather affects me somewhat negatively, making me feeling down, lazy, unmotivated, and I can just cuddle on a couch mindlessly staring at TV shows without much emotions....pretty depressing!

But the good thing is that I live in Southern California where it never rains (or almost never rains) and only once in a while drizzles. Even though there are only a few drizzly days in a year, it appears they still get in my way, my happy way of living my life. However, I realize and am grateful for the rainy season because it saves me money on water bills, and it saves my time and energy by sparing me from watering my plants and lawn.

Well, the drizzle this time lasted only for two days and now it's back to normal - warm, sunny, beautiful!!!! Love this weather because I love sunshine, love the heat coming from the shining sun, love blooming flowers, green lawn, chirping birds and bees collecting nectar from the blossoming plants. Life is just so very beautiful and precious - love it!!!

Sunny and warm weather always brings my spirits up, but this is not the only benefit of such beautiful weather. Sunny days and sun light are also good for people when they can spend time outside, enjoy the sun, and absorb the sun rays thereby allowing skin to do what it does the best - produce a large amount of vitamin D. Vitamin D is then utilized by our bodies and it reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and has other benefits.

Please enjoy the sunlight whenever it is available, whenever it is not hiding behind thick clouds, allow your skin to absorb at least some sun rays in order to allow your skin produce the vital vitamin D the natural way. However, when enjoying the sun, please be careful and protect yourself from excessive sun rays because you do not want to get burned.

Everything should be done in moderation - enjoy the sun whenever possible but use sunscreen or at least some protective gear, such as a hat and sunglasses, in order to save yourself from harmful UV rays emitting from the sun.
