WOWEE! I made it through Winter and into Daylight Saving Time!

The Winter was mild, but I got the flu, bronchial pneumonia, dislocated ribs and torn rib cartilage from coughing. I am on week 7 of this stuff, because I am still dealing with a lingering cough and torn ribs (which I just tore and dislocated again a couple of days ago). But the GREAT news is that today is the first day of Daylight Saving Time!

I know many don’t like losing an hour of sleep. But try to remember you gain one later and that we actual gain 238 hours of extra sunshine in the evenings! This is extra time outside when you get off work and when kids get out of school!

For me, this means: More sunshine, time outside, time with my animals, time to BBQ, time for appointments and outings for Wayne and me (don’t have to be home so early to put up the animals), time outside after my hubby gets home from work, more dopamine, more serotonin, more vitamin D and it marks a turning point day for me to look forward to Spring and Summer, warmer weather and hopefully swimming!!! … Must I go on?
