Hello Sunshine

With spring being just around the corner, I am more than ready for it to begin.  If you live in the Midwest, you know how long the winter season lasts.  The daylight can be short and the lack of sunshine can be brutal on your mood.

With thigh-high snow banks, I thought winter would never end……and then POOF……..just like that…….we had a warm spell, and greenish-brown grass appeared from beneath the snow covered earth. Though staying full of promise for the new spring can be challenging at times, when sunshine isn’t a regular part of your day.

However, on the flip side, have you ever been around a person that no matter what the season is, always beams like a sun-shiny day?  It brightens my mood, no matter what, and makes me realize how much I have to celebrate.  It can quickly turn my doubt into hope, and I too, find myself beaming like the sun.  I am drawn to positive people; they will lift you up, if you allow their sunshine to spread over you.

Let their sun-shiny gladness marinate within your soul, and then spread that warmth where ever you go.  Things seem brighter and hope appears.  Notice what a difference it makes in your day, and the ripple effect it has on others.

So, the next time you feel dreary and dull, find one of those “sun-shiny” friends, and say “hello, Sunshine”, you’ll be glad you did.
