Today the sun light is BLARING, which is typical here in the south, but some days I’m just not feeling it.
Some days the sun is just way too loud and violent for me. Today is that day. Let me explain.
Most of you already know I’m an introvert, and introverts spend most of their time in their own head, their own thoughts, their own self-reliance.
Some people mistakenly call us shy or standoffish, but I don’t believe we’re a shy/standoffish breed. (Those who know me know I’m not shy. Standoffish? Maybe.) We are mostly reserved and observant. And also, social skeptics (yes, I said it) who don’t feel the need to readily attach themselves to hordes of people.
So here’s my point, my beef with the sun. Sunny days scream at you to take action. To get up, get out, and conquer your piece of the world. Sometimes, sunny days try to make an introvert feel guilty about being inside—inside their head, their thoughts, their own self-reliance—and challenges them to climb out into the world. Into the chaos.
Some days I like waking up to a lovely overcast sky, a few moody clouds, or a soft gentle rain. Unlike most people, cloudy days inspire me and oftentimes soothe me. They don’t beat me over the head and torment me with all the stuff I have to do, should do, and hate to do. Cloudy days allow me to be the introvert I am—low key without the hoopla. Sunny days try to convert me into something I’m not—the dreaded extrovert.

Now, now, before all you extroverts want to shoot me (including my husband the extrovert) I do believe you all serve a great and worthy purpose. You bring vitality and life to things just as the sun does. But also like the sun, sometimes you’re just too loud and blaring and can use a few clouds to calm you down. I’m just sayin’.
Nevertheless, as I went about my day today, with the sun blaring out of control, thrusting its violent light through the windshield of my car, I took a moment to scream, “Cut it out! I see you, I see you! I see your vibrant light. So I’m in my car and I’m on my way,” —to conquer my piece of the world. So shut up already.

First, let me just say you have described me so well. I wish you would send that description to my co-workers. They just don’t understand me.
Another funny thing is that I feel the same way about sunny days. Don’t get me wrong I love the sunny days,but I end up going out and spending money. I really don’t have to say “I enjoyed this beautiful day”. I love when it rains and it is cloudy and you can stay in and just relax.
The sad thing is that my sons are just like me;they love being at home relaxing.
Sharon, of course I described you so well. We are alot alike and at the same time so totally different. We are introverts, and it’s that commonality and kindred spirit that’s held our friendship together all these years.
How ironic. I too enjoy some overcast days…..preferrably on the weekend when I don’t have to go out. However, I need Mr Sun when I have to go to work. The “making you take action” thiing. I can also ignore that mug by not opening the blinds.
Look at it this way….Mr Sun inspired a great blog entry.
Great way of looking at it, Starla. The sun did inspire this blog entry and helped me get over a bit of writer’s block. And considering you, too, are an introvert, I’m not surprised you like overcast days.
I can so relate. I hate that feeling that I should be out doing something when it’s sunny out. A gloomy day gives me a good excuse to hibernate inside.
I hear ya, Ellen. Those are words of a true introvert. I think a lot of people like cloudy days, but don’t want to publicly admit it, since everyone is always raving about the sun. But God gave us both sun and clouds. We can rave about the clouds, too.
Hey you guys, remember this nursery rhyme:
Sun, sun go away. Come again some other day. Demetria doesn’t want to play!!!!
Okay, maybe not those exact words.
