Today I was out in the sun for a few hours. I met a few friends later in the morning and we jumped in a car and headed to a beach nearby. The original plan was to go surfing, but when we got to the beach we found that there were hardly any waves to be seen. One of my friends still ended up surfing and the rest of us just enjoyed the beach for a couple of hours. I jumped in the ocean for a little while and it was so cold I started to feel numb all over.
I lay in the sun for a while and then went for a long walk down the beach. The sun was shining and it was hot! I could feel my skin slowly changing colour under the hot rays. When there’s sun I like to take off my shirt and shoes and hat. I like to soak in as much of that beautiful energy as I can.
I walked around for another couple of hours after getting back from the beach. My skin is a nice red colour now. Give it a couple of days and it’ll be a sweet tan, or that’s the idea.
I’ve been told that too much sun exposure can be harmful and cause cancer. I’ve also heard that sunscreen lotion can cause cancer. These days it seems like everything causes cancer. I’d rather take my chances with the all natural god given sunshine than putting a bunch of highly processed chemical compounds on my skin. So yeah I don’t use sunscreen.
I also avoid sunglasses, unless they are necessary for whatever style I’ve got going for the day. But I rarely use them, because I think the sunlight is so good for your eyes as well. For example it’s such a great way to wake up in the morning.
Get some sun in your eyes and on your skin today!
