Karen and I have been trying to get together to take photos for months now. But thanks to Melbourne’s wet winter, each time our photoshoot fell on rainy days. So last week, we were pleasantly surprised by how sunny our photo date was. Normally, photographers don’t like the harsh midday sun but miraculously, the bright rays worked to our advantage, and I could keep my shades on…

The sun not only provided warmth, illumination and vitamin D, it was also a mood-lifter. I always joke with friends saying that I’m “solar charged”. Sunny days always make me more cheery, energetic and efficient. When the sun is shining, I am like one of those Energizer bunnies, zipping around tackling the to-do list with zest and gusto.

King David once said that “the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.” No wonder the sun has so many life-giving properties and is so vital to our well-being.

With the longer (and warmer) days ahead of us, I’d love to know, how are you going to spend your days? And are you are solar powered too?
