“Live in the sunshine..."

swim the sea, drink the wild air…” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Old Ralph forgot to mention to make sure you wear sunscreen. I could kick myself after forgetting to put sunscreen on and then doing laps in the pool. My back, shoulders and arms are red...I look like I'm beyond baked. I think I got sun roastitis (that is a medical condition, right?). I've had pieces of flesh melon balled (another medical terminology) out of back, skin cancer. I'm a mother to seven and my summer chant is "Put your sunscreen on". I'm sore from the sunburn. I'm sore from doing laps. My trainer worked with me today. Yep, I did an upper body workout. I don't think I'll be able to raise my arms to wash my hair. I had a woman at the gym staring at me. I'm not sure if she couldn't believe the severity of my sunburn or was appalled I was wearing the same workout clothes. I wanted to say to her "Yep, I shop Walmart, too. If you don't tell, I won't tell anybody that's where we got our workout clothes".

Enjoy the day! Just make sure you wear sun screen.
