Juneau is not a sunny place, but it's striking when the orb makes an appearance. It's also not cruel and deadly hot like it is in AZ right now. So I actually sat out in the sun and hoped for skin re-coloration. Vitamin D, good for me inside and out. Just what the doctor ordered. Actually my health care provider would be asking if I was wearing my sunscreen. And while she knows the answer, I know she cares enough to ask.
I flee AZ often, and even more so in the summer months. When I was touring full-time it was often more miserable out there than AZ with high heat indexes and off the charts humidity. Which strangely made me appreciate the hot dry heat a bit more. Here in Juneau is just right on those one or two super sunny days where it's warm and kinda perfect. I know that summer is basically over for them up here in about 4 weeks. And while they may get some nice days after that, it's more likely they are gearing up for the inevitable loooooong winter. I don't think they have much in a way of seasons. There's cold, grey, foggy, rain, and snow in the not summer then there's cool(not quite cold), grey, and some sunny days in between the fog and rain for the summer tourist season.
A nice warm sunny day like that does wonders for someone like me. I love to listen to music and gaze off at the happenings around me while I ponder. My thoughts went to what's next, what to let go of, how to fill myself up with good joo joo, etc.
And yesterday I got to think about how rough this last several months has been for me. I certainly didn't go to enough AA meetings, and I have virtually no recovery community in Bisbee.. but I did make it to my 25th AA birthday today. So if I ever say I did nothing of value, call me on that and say I lived to see another year sober. Then you can tell me to STFU.
