The sun sets on another day…
Snow fell, the world seemed dark all too fast as the snow fell. The cold closed in, and the snow fell some more. The darkness was almost oppressive, but high above I knew that the sunset was there, pelting the clouds with endless colors. I imagined the color and the darkness was gone.
I know, I know. It is hard sometimes. The darkness can be upon us all. It can consume who we are and surround us, with, well, darkness. Along the way it can seem impossible to believe in anything but darkness. What fun huh?
Yes, I will repeat. It can be hard. Expectations often don’t align with reality, happy endings never seem to come, bad things seem to happen, and why do they always happen to us. Ouch, and double ouch. It is hard not to cry, or feel the weight on your shoulders. When will it be our turn? When will someone notice?
OK, depressed yet? Don’t be. It is time to overcome. Let’s rise above, higher and higher.
Yeah, yeah, you may not have the perfect car, the perfect date, or the perfect dinner right now, but you likely have a car, a date, and dinner and maybe a lot more. Believe it or not I get lost in the same thing from time to time. I have to dig out as I think about everything, including you. Yes, letters from readers mean something, letters from friends, and a little more. Maybe there is something you can latch onto, perhaps something easy, something nice, or just a word, or a note, or someone taking even a second to show they care. Hey, find the way, find the path, find something positive, and make life better.
In the end, somewhere, all the things you want may be out there, you just haven’t looked in the right spot. I am reminded of an old movie that noted that the one place you didn’t look is where you will find what you are looking for. Scary huh?
So as the sun sets on another day, I believe in you. I believe in good, even when things seem bad. I believe the world can give us more, even if even I don’t always get it. Mostly I believe everything is gonna be all right, and not wrong. Find your best life, and make it better every day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and so it will be..
