The sun was shining bright today. The only thing missing was warmth. "Oh well," I thought, "I may not be able to recharge my solar batteries from sunshine without heat but nevertheless I can enjoy it just the same."
I sat on the beach with a hot chocolate, read and enjoyed watching families playing together on this Thanksgiving Sunday. Then I walked barefoot on the beach. It felt good to feel the sand on my toes again. It was a good walk.
Later as I folded my chair and towel and headed back to the car, I noticed a bounce had returned to my step. Driving home it occurred to me that I felt rejuvenated. My solar batteries were recharged.
It seems that it is the light of the sun as it shines on me that recharges me and not necessarily the warmth.
Warmth or no warmth it feels great to feel energized again.
