The Sun has always been my friend.
It seemed to work its way into many seasons of my life.
As a young girl, I wore it in my hair. ...often tied back with yellow ribbons enroute to the beach when I could get there. I read a book once...romantic poems...I found a phrase that defined the place I hoped to live some day. It said...
"I've saved some sunshine should you ever need a place away from darkness for you mind to rest."
This saying traveled with me through truimphs and tragedies in the years that followed...a vision bright in sometimes unexpected darkness.
As the Sun came in on this quiet morning, I smiled as I looked up at the muted words now engraved over the arch in the doorway in my living room... "I've saved some sunshine...".
I used to think of this saying as simply a physical place where I would live.
Now my striving has changed.
It is the Sunshine in my soul that matters most to me today.
For that I am still a work-in-progress.
It's interesting to reflect on happenings in your life.
To stop and discover how far... and how very blessed you are to be here and now.
I am.
What reflections on your life are most meaningful?
