for the last few months it has seemed that the weather consists only of rain. rain means dark clouds and dreary, gloomy days. monday i awoke to sunshine. it was so bright and overwhelming i felt as if i had awakened some some place other than earth! and thought i needed sunglasses even in the house, so unaccustomed i had become to the brilliant light of the sun.
later in the morning, at the volunteer quilting group i work with, we commented on how wonderful it was to have the sun shine once again. one of the ladies remarked, "remember, the sun is always there; we just can't see it sometimes." how true that observation! it prompted me to think how often we think something in life is absent. however, if we pay attention we find that what we thought was missing has been there all the while.
