I love Summertime. It’s not my favorite season – that’s Fall – but the relaxed attitude, the delicious watermelon and the sunshine are all calling my name! That also means I need to add an extra 10-15 minutes to the beginning of any plans we make in order to put on sunscreen.
I’m very fair skinned – but even if you soak up the sun and spit out a rich tan – you need sunscreen. I’m not a doctor, but I have a long list of them in my MyChart App – including a dermatologist (they don’t like it when you call them “skin doctors”). My dermatologist has hounded me to up the Sun Protection Factor as much as possible and so I’m passing along this plea as a public service announcement.
God painted you – wrote on your very DNA – and when we don’t care for our bodies as best as we can, it’s like we’re smudging His GOOD work. You might not feel like a masterpiece, but you are. Fearfully and wonderfully made is how the Bible describes you (Psalm 139)!
Stay hydrated – wear sunscreen (don’t forget to reapply) and live, laugh, love your way through what will be an amazing Summer of Fun!
Now, if you’ll excuse me – I need to cover myself in white goop so I can take my son to the pool with his friends, while I read a book and try not to turn into human bacon.
