Random Ramblings

I have a secret to tell you so lean in close…closer!  Guess what…it’s ALWAYS Sunny!  That’s right; you can pick your jaw up off the floor now!  I’m telling you the truth, I know for a fact that it’s sunny all the time, even when it may seem like the gloomiest day and you don’t think the rain will ever end, much like the weather here today.  I bet you are wondering how in the world I know this little tidbit well I’ll tell you, I’ve seen it!

Ok, Ok I’ll give up my secret; it’s not really a secret anyway.  Anyone who has been on a plane and flown somewhere knows this.  It can be the gloomiest day, the rainiest day, or even the snowiest day and once you get above those clouds you will in fact find the sun.  Trust me on this!  On our trip to Colorado it suddenly dawned on me, that no matter what we experience here on earth, up above the clouds that ball of fire is shining on.  And let me tell you, it was nice to finally realize that.

After thinking about this for a while, and believe me it wasn’t easy to forget due to the beauty on top of the clouds, I came to the conclusion that this idea can be applied to things within your own life.  When you are down and nothing seems to be going right or happening the way you’d like and you think everything is stuck in a whirlwind or tornado, there is always SOMETHING that is a bright spot, your sunshine.  You may not exactly realize it at that point, but all you have to do is try to find it, it may be easier to find than you think. 

I may have been partially hypocritical about this as I have had some dark days and thought there was NOTHING good in my life.  I was so wrong, most of the time I couldn’t figure that out on my own.  I needed the help of friends to drive the point home, but eventually I have learned that even when it seems like nothing is going right or will ever again, somewhere there is, forgive the cliche’, a light at the end of the tunnel. 

Sometimes you just have to think about what makes you smile.  In my case, I have two sure-fire things that are bound to make me smile, NO MATTER WHAT!  My 3 year old nephew and my friends.  A lot of times just getting a hug from a friend can wipe away so many doubts and fears.  I love getting hugs from people, the circle of friends I am in always hug when we see each other and as we leave each other and it makes me so happy!  I can always use a hug no matter what is going on.  Sometimes when I need a hug I don’t have anyone to give one to me.  Luckily someone always comes along with open arms. 

Well now you know, it’s always sunny no matter what.  Even in the dead of night, it’s sunny somewhere in the world!  Who or what is your Sunshine?
