I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is July 3rd.On this day, we celebrate National Stay Out of the Sun Day. Yes, you heard that right. It's a day dedicated to giving your skin a break from the sun's rays, especially if you tend to roast like a marshmallow at a campfire. So, if you needed an excuse to stay indoors and binge-watch your favorite show or read a good book, today’s your day!Now, let’s dive into our quote of the day. It comes from the American essayist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”I know what you're thinking. Why are we talking about sunshine on National Stay Out of the Sun Day? Well, there's a method to this madness. Emerson's words remind us of the importance of experiencing and enjoying the natural world around us. But just like everything else in life, balance is key. While it's wonderful to live in the sunshine, sometimes it's just as important to appreciate the shade.On this National Stay Out of the Sun Day, think of Emerson’s quote as a gentle nudge to find that balance. Enjoy the sun, but don’t forget to take care of yourself. Give your skin a rest, stay hydrated, and perhaps find joy in the cooler, quieter places. After all, life is about savoring all its different shades and temperatures, not just the sunniest ones.So, today, take a moment to enjoy the comforts of the indoors. Maybe treat yourself to a refreshing drink or a cool swim in the shade. Celebrate the day by finding your balance between the sunshine and the shadows.That's it for today’s episode. Remember to find joy in both the light and the shade, and take care of yourself. Thanks for joining me on The Daily Quote.
