The Ever Elusive Sun


By Michelle Carr

As the days grow colder, cloudier and shorter, I find myself hunting the sky for any glimpse of the sun. I search in vain some days, just needing that little peek of sunlight to break through the dreariness that winter brings with it. Though I love the Fall, Winter always seems to bring me down just a little.  I lose the ability to go outside and bask in the warmth of the sun. It becomes almost a mission to get out on the days of beauty. To absorb as much sunlight as I can before it hides itself away from me and the ground becomes covered in snow.  Days much like the past three days have proven to be. It's almost as if I need to bottle the golden rays up inside me so I can keep that light burning brilliantly inside for  the dark days. (I so would not make it living in Alaska.) I have now resorted to skyfishing as well. I caught a the big beautiful orange ball  several days ago and thought I would share it with you! My gift to all of you, a little sunshine to brighten your day;)
