That had to be all caps because it’s remarkable. Ever since moving into this house 13 years ago, our dining room didn’t have sun in it. Until now. We are nearly done with the remodel so last night we moved the dining room table out of the living room and back into the dining room. And this afternoon… Afternoon, mind you!!! … I sat at the table to plan an impromptu Wine & Cheese tasting party. IN. THE. SUN. Honestly, I had trouble concentrating on my notes because of the sun. Glorious sun!
There are no windows on the west side of our house and the roof has a big overhang so our home gets very little direct sun in it. The solution was two arch windows extending as high as possible in the west wall. I’ll make a blog post with more details soon.
Just look at this!
First sitting at the table in the sun!
To anyone else, that photo would be completely unremarkable. But I’m an artist, photographer and lover of sunshine. To not have sun is like Michelangelo having no paint. There are no accessories or furniture in the world as glorious as sun. I can’t believe I actually get to live here!
I hope I never get to the point of taking something so basic for granted. I basked in sun today.
All Sparkled Up 
I agree with you, Julia, and can feel your love and excitement. Truly the sun is glorious – as is the Son. Let us always remember to bask also in His light.
Dear Julia, I am so happy for you and a tad bit envious. . The sun …. your friend…. is very dangerous for me. I have porphyria. For many years I was in a bubble and then came …. sunscreen. It allows me to go outside for limited time. Never will I bask in the sun light or swim in the sea….but I do bask in the glory of the Son’s light. ♥
Looking forward to your many expressions of joy and will see in your art your happiness. The new windows are filling your soul with Heavenly Sunshine.

I am excited for you!
