Shyness and sunlight

Not a lot of people know this about me but I'm actually super shy.

I'm tucked behind this little log and I've made a little home for myself here.

Undisturbed? Definitely. Unprotected? No... I think of this log as my big brother. Uninvited? That's just something I'm making up in my own head.

I've heard this creek near me ever since I was a little kid. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet. Today, it's just right.

My advice to you? Enjoy and bask in the warmth of the sun. I do it just about every day and look at me! I'm GLOWING!

Take care 🌼
