7 : yellow on the inside


i've been grappling with how to put this moment into words since it happened earlier today - i haven't completely pieced together the ideal verbiage; however, it is something that truly fills me to the brim with contentment each and every time it happens, so i feel compelled to pass it along in a timely manner . . .

the most treasured moment of my day occurred at about 1:00, as i was leaving work for lunch. i pushed open the glass door of my office building and was greeted by a vast and uninterrupted blue sky, accessorized perfectly with an enormous canary-yellow orb of sunshine. i stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, turned my face upward, closed my eyes, and inhaled. at that moment, it felt as though my entire insides had been filled with a warm, yellow, healing glow - i was yellow on the inside.

i hope this is something that others have experienced - i believe, and always will believe, that sunshine is medicine.
