Sunshine

It's funny how on dark, rainy days we all become so down and depressed. All we can see and feel is the dampness and the grayness. We are stuck in our own worlds, unable to see the greater picture. We don't think about tomorrow's sunshine, only today's puddles and mud. We don't think that above the heavy rain clouds the sun still shines. But it does. The sun is always there throughout the day, no matter how dark the sky may seem, how wet the ground may be, or how long you have been using your umbrella as a shield, the sun is still there- 93 million miles away- but it is still shining across the universe, sending forth light and warmth to the earth. So I challenge you, the next day you have where you feel like the whole world is cold, dark, lonely and gray, keep your chin up my friend because there's sunlight outhere- probably closer than you think- and your gray skies will clear soon. And maybe, just maybe, if you bring your umbrella down for a second and turn your eyes towards the heavens, maybe you will see a glimpse of light between the clouds, a pocket of sunshine where the beams are trying their hardest to peak through, to light up the earth, and to put that smile back on your face.
