As someone from the Southern Hemisphere I believe I have a special affiliation with the sun. It makes me happy and therefore I worship it.

Recently (while living in the Northern Hemisphere) I have had a rude awakening when it comes to the sun….just because it is out and the sky is brilliant blue, does not mean that it is warm.

How is this possible? For most of my adult life we have had beautiful relationship and now I feel like it’s cheating on me.

My proof? I now know that it is possible to have a sunny day when it is -7 degrees. Yes -7. That is not a typo. In fact snow can be lying around with kids sliding around in it while the sun watches on but refuses to turn on the heat. Ridiculous!

While I will continue to be mad at the sun for it’s behaviour, I will still worship it for there is no better alternative. And I do enjoy basking in it’s rays, even though I am wrapped in a down jacket with a beanie and scarf on.
