So it’s been crazy rainy here the last several days. And not only does the rain add to the gloom, but the dreariness causes just a general blah to come over me. I’m sure there’s some science around this. Perhaps vitamin deficiencies or maybe something else. But whatever the cause, I just know I feel blah. It reminds me of a time when I was on a plane traveling back from the west coast. It was a particularly trying time in my life, both professionally and emotionally. But I remember as we were taking off it was raining. It was gloomy. It was dreary. And we ascended through the clouds. UP and up and up. I could see the rain droplets on the window. I could see the ethereal smoke of the clouds. And then all of a sudden we broke through. And the sun hit. As if we just broke through the muck in the wide open expanse of brightness. It was awesome. The sun was amazingly bright and even in an airplane you could feel the warmth. And you know what, that sun was always there. It was always shining brightly and casting it’s warmth over the world. And it made me realize that no matter what kind of clouds or circumstance or struggle or trial we’re going through, the light is there. It will get better. Whatever it is, it will improve.
So what are you struggling with today? Are you thinking that your circumstances are bigger than your happiness? That your life is cloudy and in a constant storm? Do you think there’s no hope? Well just remember the sun is there. It’s shining brightly and warm and making things dead come to life. You’ve got this!!!
