Healthy and Whole: The Sun

The sun is pretty amazing, huh? It's so huge and hot and spherical. Even though it's so totally fantastic, I usually take it for granted. Many days I go the entire 24 hours without even acknowledging its presence. I'd like to change that; I'd like to start paying attention to this big, flaming orb.

This week's "Healthy and Whole" assignment is: watch a sunset and watch a sunrise. Notice the colors. Pay attention to how long it takes. What do you hear? What do you smell? How do you feel? More than anything else, carve out a few moments to breathe and watch the star (sunglasses included) that centers our solar system.

Sunset.

Sunrise.
