It´s a great day (finally!)

What a lovely day is today. I woke up with the first caresses of the sun on my face, and I got up immediately. The sun´s shining so much that I decided to sit at my backyard while I´m writing these lines. What a great sensation is to feel the power of the sun on your back! A sunny day in Winter is something priceless and each animal, plant and object on earth seems to know it. I look at the plants that are being blessed by the king of the sky. It gives me the impression that they´ll start dancing under the golden rain. And the poor ones which are still in shadows wait impatiently for their turn. Nobody wants to miss the show, not even my dog: she walks in circles, slowly, looking for a good place. Finally she chooses the same that I did. She lays at my feet. I laugh because from time to time she looks above, her eyes closed. It hurts her eyes to see the sun so directly, but I think she can´t help it. Neither can I. I feel tempted and I look at it just once more. After all, who can assure that we´ll have a beautiful day like this soon?
I´m in the house now. The difference of temperature is obvious, but just as a battery I have renewed my energies for the rest of the day. Now I´ll focus on my mom: she´s making breakfast while she whistles an old song. I convince her to go out with me only for a couple of minutes and she accepts. The moment she goes out she hurries to put her laborious hand at her forehead, in order to protect herself from the sun. Once she gets used to it my mom looks at me, smiles and tell me what a good idea would be to have breakfast there.
In a couple of hours the presence of the sun will be nothing but a souvenir. All of us, the plants and flowers, my dog, my mom and me will be looking forward to see it again tomorrow.
Tomorrow there´ll be something new to thank for.
