For Love of…Sunshine
This post is part of a series about my favorite places and things that have made Los Angeles feel like my home for the past 2+ years.

One of the standout aspects of life in LA is that you never really look at the weather forecast. It’s almost always a reliable 60-80 degrees with at least a bit of sunshine each day. We live with our windows open wide throughout the year.
After a lifetime in the Northeast, where the weather dictated everything from my wardrobe to my emotions (Hello, Seasonal Affective Disorder!), this sunny weather has been like a permanent vacation. I think I may be solar powered.
Then again, here I go moving to a city that is known for its foggy, moody weather! But the New Englander in me says that it will still be a vacation compared to bitter, slushy winter Februarys. And (ssshhhh!) a little part of me is looking forward to some foggy, rainy, cozy days in the future.
