Shadows

I'm a sunshine girl. I love being outside when the sky is blue and the air is crisp and the sun is warm and soft. I enjoy hiking and swimming and just hanging out on a blanket with friends. When the sun is out, life is good and it makes sense. I feel like I can do and be just about anything.

But invariably, at some point some moisture finds itself in the atmosphere and pulls together to make big dark clouds that block or even hide the light. Then it doesn't seem so nice outside. I feel ready to get back in the car and go home. Watch some TV maybe. Take a nap. Anything to stop feeling so gloomy.

It would be nice if the sun were always out. But at least I know it's always there. Even when I can't feel the warmth. And in the end light breaks through darkness every time.
