Did you ever have a day that was just another day? You just went through the motions. Same old same old. [we should not live this way, but we often do....]
Well there is a sure cure for the same old same old day. Just add a little pain, and suddenly you know that you are alive. A broken toe, a paper cut with lemon juice, an angry friend, or a disappointment is all it takes for you to become very present in your day.
Although we, by nature, do not like painful things, they do cause us to pay attention to life. When we are in pain, the moments crawl by. Days seem to stretch into weeks. Maybe that is not a bad thing. Sometimes I wish I could have more time in my life. The days sure seem long when you are struggling.
So if you have something going on, rejoice! God is with you and you are alive. Smile, make friends with the painful thing and work to look past it to see the good.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Glad you can share the good days and the not-so-good ones. Come to think of it, our lives kind of mirror the weather in the midwest. Because of our location on the map, a lot of the clouds pass through Missouri. Some days even bring the pain of storms and loss. But God always sends the sunshine, in time.
Wishing you sunshine, soon.
