The sun sets on another day…
The day was filled with wind and excitement with a little bit of thunder and a bit of darkness in midday, what else can you ask for? As the rain fell and the storm drains threw water in the woods I could only smile and enjoy the ride.
It’s funny sometimes when you consider how many storms, we weather every day. From a person yelling in the grocery store to all of the people who wander along almost running into us on the road each day contains a series of storms that we can either embrace or take for granted or ignore. A lot of people try to ignore them until they become so large that Godzilla would run screaming looking for his diaper. You can’t ignore the storm because it is part of what is around you. A lot of people take the storms for granted and in doing so almost ignore them and don’t realize the opportunities they invite. I like to think that I embrace the storm. I can enjoy the rolling thunder and dark clouds and stay inside as the rain pours hard or go outside when I need to. By embracing the storm, I learn from it, and I grow.
How do you handle these things? Do you ignore the storms in your life, do you let them roll over you and annihilate who you are? Do you use them as opportunities to do more? Do you fight with the passion inside and resist the storm? However you answer it is these things that make us who we are and it is these things that allow us the ability to learn and grow. I hope you find the courage to learn from the storms in your life and I hope you are willing to fight for what you believe in.
So as the sun sets on another day, I enjoyed the storms today and as night falls I will enjoy the evening knowing that I weathered the storm and made a difference to myself. We all can weather the storms and find a path that is amazing, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and keep learning…
