Christmas and Sunlight

Cheer and joy, like life itself, come in small packets. Whether we choose to regard or disregard them is a momentous decision. Every time we choose happiness, we beat sorrow and vice-versa. Celebrations are important for they serve to teach us important lessons. Amidst the chaos of daily life, we find time to put together a season of love, be it by inviting over friends and relatives we have long lost touch with or forgiving our worst enemies. This is why happiness is magical- it heals oldest wounds with stupendous simplicity and makes the tallest of misers magnanimous, even if it is for a day.

I feel that sunlight has a similar role to play in our lives, and by large, that of all the creatures on Earth. Sun makes life possible. My perfect day is a day spent outside, with bountiful Sun playing on my face. For some it might be a cause of worry for the global warming is on a rise while others still may be allergic to Sun rays. The beauty experts would argue that the harmful UV rays of the Sun are the reason for all skin and hair problems. Yet, I stand firm in my belief and that stems from a childhood spent in the abode of strong afternoon Sun- my most playful time, the time of the day when I used to be most alive as a kid. As a writer, I find my most wise thoughts come to me while lounging around in the sunshine. And really, is there anything as good as the warm afternoon Sun on a cold winter's day?


So, while for most of us Christmas is a night festival, I strive to find the festive spirit during the day. There's something in the winter air which stirs up my creative spark. It gives my imagination wings and makes me feel more generous and loving. Isn't that what Christmas is all about?
Season's Greetings and loads of love! :)
