Radiate Sunshine Together

Radiate sunshine wherever you go. This is an expression that I hope children and adults will take to heart. Sunshine represents light and warmth, and we sometimes characterize it as a time filled with cheer. When the sun is shining, I see the movement of kids playing outside, swimming in the pool, eating ice cream, enjoying their friends, walking their dogs, and just enjoying life. Kids are active and seem to have more energy. This is a good thing!

As adults, our world can be bombarded with an array of happenings, and we know that the sunshine is present, but sometimes we miss the joy that sunshine can offer us. So let's take a lesson from our kids and actually create and enjoy our "own" sunshine in the literal sense. Since the sun's light touches and enriches us, let's become replicas of the sun by doing good deeds, energizing our passions, spending time with family and friends, and absorbing the beauty that surrounds us.

In a sense, view the sunshine as a precious gift through the eyes of our children. Once in a while we can follow their lead and radiate sunshine together. (It won't hurt, right?)
