An obsession with sunshine

So here I am new to the blog thing. I had always heard about this but never had truly investigated it until a friend of mine introduced me to the whole concept. I feel somewhat hesitant to just talk about things and share them with the whole world, so to speak, so I will take this process slowly.

I guess I'll start off with the name of my blog. "It's a sunshine day"-remember that song that the Brady Bunch sang in one of their many episodes? Well for some reason that popped into my head but actually that is not why I chose that as a title. I love the sun and the "goodness" that it brings. On sunny days I seem to feel more upbeat and full of life. I believe it is true that you need those UVA/UVB rays to stimulate the dopamine receptors in your brain. When ever it is cloudy I seem to get a little on the low side of life, which in my profession is not a good thing.
I am in the pharmaceutical industry so I need to have a pleasant demeanor going.

Now as much as I love the sun it doesn't always send the love back my way. Last year it gave me a a nice present in the form of basil cell carcinoma, a benign cancer, nevertheless, a cancer. It also has threw in some sun damage to my chest area, nothing grotesque or malformed it just looks like it has seen some sun. And of course my physicians seem to point that out to me whenever I see them. But is it really the sun's fault? In all probability it is more my fault. My need to get my "fix" has diminished my good sense when it comes to sunscreen.

I am somewhat lucky as I have been blessed with some very good genes, I happen to look much younger than my age despite the fact that I was and still am a sun "goddess". No fake bake for me, just good ole unadulterated ball of fire in the sky...cooking you like a piece of bacon on a skillet.
