let there be light...

One evening a week or so ago I sat by myself in my bedroom quietly organizing some clutter on a bookshelf. At least that's what I was telling myself I was doing as I moved piles of paper and pictures from one pile to another, organization wasn't really present and neither was I. I sat slouched, a long sigh in it's visual form when suddenly I was struck with the thought/voice, "all you need is some sun. Everything will feel better once you get yourself in the light."

We've had gray, Washington state skies for weeks now. Usually I don't mind it, I know the rain is exactly what makes things green and healthy around here. I appreciate green, it's the color of life.

But it was the light...the light I felt like the sky brought just for me and my boys the next day that helped me once again appreciate the magic of my life.
