Today, I look out of my window and see a cool, rainy day with gray skies. The trees are almost bare and it looks very lonesome.
I remind myself that above those gray clouds, the sky is blue and the sun is shining..... I just can't see it from my vantage point. I must trust that it is there and that I will see the sunshine again.
The Peggy that I now know is dark and gray with no blue skies. The leaves on the tree of her mind have fallen to the ground. The sunshine no longer glows from her green eyes.
What I struggle to keep in mind is that the sun that was Peggy is still shining... I just can't see it from my vantage point!
I trust that it is still there and that I will see it again someday.
I am like the weather looking out of the window of my soul. Cloudy and gray today with very little sunshine in my heart.
Though this day is gray, I know that it needs to be lived and appreciated for its unique beauty.
I have to live and understand what the gray part of life feels like or how could I learn to appreciate the sunshine in my life? I know that if there is sunshine..there are also shadows.
Peggy brought a lot of sunshine to my life and now, I must remind myself that she is still shining......and I am standing in the shadow of her sunshine.
Shine on....Peggy~~~~I know that the sparkle that made you who you were is still in there somewhere and shining brightly........
I just can't see your shine from my vantage point... in the shadows!
I Love You Today, Peggy!
