A Little Vitamin D

I just got back from a Spring Break trip to Arizona with the family. Boy, did we need it! You get so used to living in a Wisconsin winter, that it's easy to forget that it's actually warm in other locations around the United States. With one step off the plane you could feel the warm air. The entire time I was there I was not sore. Many days, here, in the fall and winter I deal with some type of soreness. It's amazing to me the power that warmth has to the body. We spent much time together: hiking, reading by the pool, grilling out, hot tubbing, laughing, and relaxing. Vitamin D supplementation and therapy lights just cannot replace the actual thing. Vacations can be full of stress. Just getting out the door. All the packing, planning meals, and researching restaurants and things to do. But it is worth every ounce of it in the end. Thanks Arizona for your amazing life affirming energy and light. To be able to be in nature and truly appreciate the sun that shines down upon us.
