The first thing I do when I get up and dressed is to throw open all the drapes, and I have lights that put out a LOT of wattage! When we go to other people's houses in the evening, I can't stand how dim their lights are and I can hardly see. The name of my blog is no coincidence.

I always open the windows and let the natural light in. One of the things that I look forward to is the sounds of the church bells. At 12:30 PM every afternoon, the church up the street will play a song that sometimes will last for several minutes. The sweet melody of the bells coming from the church is one of those everything is right in the world moments for me.
