The Sun does Shine...

There you are, breaking into the deep and bright blue skies.  You've returned and shown your goodness again.  How amazing you are.

Bright.

Warm.

Dancing brilliantly on upturned cheeks.

Why do we so quickly forget that you are always there?  Always reaching to return to us and give us your warmth and comfort. So easily we complain in our suffering; cold, dark, and surrounded by the gray of the day.

But, still you shine.  We just can't see it.

Still you shine for us.

It was so good to see the sun today.  I've been working from late afternoons to late at night and because of that have been sleeping later and later into the days.  I overslept today wanting to get up at 10:00 AM and actually getting up at 1:00 PM.  I was kind of bummed out and slumbered into the shower and eventually woke up.

When I was done with the shower, I walked over to the door to my porch and look out to see what the temperature is (always hoping for something warm) and pulled the blinds back.  A smile immediately stretched across my face.  Sunshine.  The Sun does Shine.  It is never as apparent how much I need it until it has been hidden for so long and suddenly shines again.  

Interesting.

I quickly got dressed and rushed out of the door to take my pug for his walk.  It was still there.  No wandering thick and dark clouds to tease me today.  Just a clear, bright blue sky and small patches of the puffy white cotton clouds, barely moving at all.  

I'm not sure how long I walked simply looking up; eyes half closed, but luckily my pug knows where he wants to go.  So, I just followed and appreciated seeing and feeling that sun again.  So wonderful.  


I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see it you today.
