I’m a sunwhore. Not the lie-on-the-beach-and-roast kind, but rather the walk around town, stop here and there for a refreshment kind. I will sit outside at a café, maybe jot down some notes, do a little reading or look at the people around me. I might even eavesdrop on a conversation or two.
Today is my annual milestone: Sunburn Day! Every year, near the beginning of summer, I get the inevitable sunburn as a result of my adventures. This is a good thing. Yes, it might sting a bit, but it’s a surefire sign that summer really is here and I know that once this dies down, I won’t get burned again. Until next year.
Soon, all I will get is more and more tanned, and in the meantime, I thank the maker for aloe vera and all its blessings.
