You know the old saying, “When it rains, it pours.” Well, boy is it raining today. Literally. And figuratively. I look out at the rain and the fog and it looks so gloomy…and I think, “I’ll just stay inside,” which is to say that I will stay in the same old familiar place because pressing onward and upward, well, just feels so hard today. But just as I am about to crawl into bed and call it day (never mind it was only 10 am), I realize that I am about to miss a golden opportunity. With each gloomy storm cloud that lands on our heads, we have to remember that the sun really IS still shining. We just can’t see it. So, I toss back the covers, throw on my clothes and head out the door, umbrella in tow, and go about my day AS IF the sun were beating on my back…and it feels good. Really good. Funny thing, now I don’t even mind the rain.
