Saturday Market

I have been desperate for the sunshine. I don't mind rain in the winter but given the most recent reoccurring events in my life, drizzly days were draining my spirits. I needed the natural warmth on my skin and the bright rays in my eyes to wake up my being. The love i have for the sun runs through my veins and helps my body function normally. My worlds revolves around the sun. I should be an animal and hybernate in the winter.
This Saturday was beautiful. The sun finally broke through the clouds to come out to play. It stayed out all day. I got to see the sunrise and the sunset. I had almost forgotten the feelling sunshine gives me. How much motivation and how many smiles it sends down. I am very thankful it was created for us to enjoy. My boyfriend and I took a lovely stroll down the city streets to the Satruday Market. We shared the same idea with over a thousand others. Peaple come out of the wood works when the sun is out. The trees were blossoming, the grass was freshly cut, dogs were being walked. I loved the sounds of skateboards flipping and bike chains turning. Music being played by bands and local musicians. It was fun to see people in flip flops and sunglasses again; prancing around on the dry sidewalks looking at and selling eccentric artwork. Button rings, rock candles, silverware sculptures, feather earrings...sunshine called for smoothies, snow cones, and boba tea. The smell of barbeque and chinese noodles filled the air.
Hand in hand I walked around with him for hours, soaking it all in, knowing soon the sun would return to the other side and my veins would eventually grow cold again. But not for long this time, sunshine is on its way to stay.
We headed North out of the city, gaining one yellow sweater and a pair of orange sneekers.

Thank you Sun.

Lemon

Someone asked me today, if I could be any fruit, what fruit would I be?
At first I thought the question was just a silly way to cure out infinite boredem.
And I was prepared to reply promptly with my favorite fruit and then
I would return with a silly question to fire up this game of funnies.
Then I paused because I remembered I have several favorite fruits.
I found myself hesitant to limit my life to be only one fruit. Obviously this
is my analytical brain taking over the delight of the randonnesss and
impracticality of the simple question. Darn you brain and your ways.
Do I want to be a fruit that everyone likes? Because then everyone would
love me right? But I take the risk of being eaten often. I dont really want to be bitten into.
I think that might hurt. I mean I guess that is the purpose of fruit though...to be eaten.
Or do I want to be a fruit that is really eye-popping in some way?
Just for the trivial fact I like bright colors. I could be a fruit that is in the jungle
that people dont eat often, then  I could live longer. (Normally I wouldnt say fruit is
alive persay but for this topic we will just say they are.) I also had to take into consideration
where each fruit grows. Do I want to live in a tree? or live on a bush or a plant?
Do I want to live in a bundle like grapes or bananas or single like an orange?
I couldnt decide so I modified the question to humor myself.
There obviously isn't a fruit that is superior to others given the fact that all fruits
have their benefits for our health. If you pick one fruit, not everyone is going to like the texture,
the flavor, the scent..
So I narrowed it down to what fruit I am most like.
A lemon.
I dont want to be bitten as much as possible and have a sour emotion most of the time.
I enjoy summer the most and if you add sugar and water to a lemon in the summer time
I can be one of the most popular drinks. I am a fairly busy person and my body often
goes through a lot of stress so I definitely  feel sqeezed dry. I think its safe to say
that lemons are squeezed dry regularly. Im a clean freak and lemons are used in
various cleaning supplies. I think lemons fan base is rightly split. Meaning you dont see people walking around biting into lemons for a snack but lemon juice and the peel are
used for countless different things.
Plus, if I were a lemon, I could cause people to make funny faces when they bit into me. :)
That would be a cool trick..
