The sun will come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There’ll be sun!
Just thinking about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
‘Til there’s none!
When I’m stuck in a day
That’s gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh
The sun will come out
Tomorrow
Yesterday was a gray skies, down in the dumps kind of day. I went for my walk and every step was difficult. I couldn’t get excited about any of it. If you told me that the sun would come out and that things would be better today I would probably get very frustrated with you. It’s hard to be rational when things are looking bleak and hopeless.
Yet, this morning I woke up with a smile on my face. I ran 4 miles and the sun came up as I did so. The weather is much improved over yesterday and knock on wood so far there’s been no lost keys, sick kids or major disasters. If I could bottle up the feelings I have today and save them for another disastrous day I would, but it doesn’t work that way.
While I would love to salvage every surplus of joy and sunshine that’s radiating in my heart today for another day, I know that it’s fleeting. I know that what I woke up with today is enough for day, and for that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for today’s blessings. I’m grateful for the ability to find joy in the activities I had lost pleasure in doing like enjoying a long run with my favorite furry friend. I am grateful for time spent with my husband on his day off of work. I will enjoy today’s blessings and be present for them as they come. I will pray that when tomorrow comes that it brings enough sunshine, smiles, joy, happiness, courage and fortitude to get me through another day.
