Grateful

Skies are often blue from the sun’s brightness on a clear day. On other days the sky is grey from overcast clouds blocking the direct rays of the sun. As evening comes, the earth’s rotation takes our location away from the direct view of our warming orb. A cloudy day or a darkened night does not mean the sun does not exist. Because symptoms of pain, stiffness, or other discomforts may be the experience of the present does not mean the existence of relief has ceased. One does not embrace a cloudy day as a means of driving it away. One goes about one’s day regardless of the clouds surrounding. Symptoms may be obstructive, but they need not be destructive. Gratitude in the midst of clouds brings sunshine to the soul in need of light. May your day be lighted with thankfulness!
