It rained every day for almost three weeks. It was cold, dark, stormy and the
spring days seemed so far away. But today the sun is shining and it’s a
wonderful spring day with a clear blue sky!
What am I saying here? Well just something that we always forget… the sun
always comes up after the storm! Same thing happens in our life. So hang on !
Life sometimes gives you rainy days, storms even tornadoes. Sometimes we bring rainy days in our life through the bad decisions that we make and sometimes the rain just comes without us doing anything.
Maybe there are just some usual rainy days in your life or maybe you’re going through a big storm that turns everything upside down, gets you depressed, you lose hope and you feel like giving up. DON’T ! Don’t ever give up! It’s really important how you manage these rainy days and storms. What do they teach you? Is there something you need to learn from the storm in your life? Are things really as bad as you think?
Even if it rains and you can’t see the sun and everything looks hopeless. Be patient and don’t give up. The sun will shine again!

Such wisdom in your post.
The only thing we really have any control over is ourselves. I truly believe we can choose a positive response to any setback at any time and turn it into a position of strength.
I’m not saying it’s easy…it takes a certain determination to grit your teeth and get up on days when you’d rather pull the covers over your head, but it can be done.
My father had a great saying regarding this, “Don’t let it get the best of you.” I hear these words on a loop in my head whenever I feel discouraged. They really help!
Thank you for a wonderful post and a chance for reflection. .

You are right…it’s not easy but you have to find a way and keep going.
Your father is right and I will keep those words in mind. Thank you so much for sharing them!

Yes! Yes! Ok, now I’ve got the song “Tomorrow” playing through my mind… lol… but it’s true! The sun will come out again!
