Sunshine Saturday

Today is the first sunny, clear day we've had in a long time through this wet season of rain and overcast skies, and I could feel the energy of the City awaken as locals and tourists alike were pleasantly surprised. Many women, including me, wore tank tops and slippers to drink in the sun - our skin was in for a sunshine shock. I trotted down to Union Square with a book, walkman with Duran Duran playing of course!, and $10 for an iced mocha with whipped cream for later. Strangers sat together on the steps of the Square, others meandered enjoying the weekend art show, children squeaked with joy, tourists snapped pictures capturing the moment as I enjoyed some light reading, listened to my music, to the sounds of the people. What a glorious treat for all of us today, tomorrow will be a welcomed continuation. Let the rain rest for now so that our spirits can lift with the sun.
