Sun Above Clouds

I took some friends on a hike today. It was cloudy and overcast down here on the coast so I thought I'd try going up the hill a bit to find some sunshine. Sure enough, it was a blue sunny sky up the canyon.

After meeting them up there, they were concerned that we might not go because it was so cloudy it looked like rain. I said, "leave it to me, I know how to find the sun"! We went on a great hike with some stunning views.

I think that life is a little like that experience. We can either stay in the clouds and endure them or we can decide to look for the sun. It isn't always a guarantee that we will find the sun, but at least we can choose to look.

The clouds are also like a veil. Our lives can be really clear and on target, but the clouds try to sway us from our dreams. Look for the sun today in every endeavor--it is there just above the clouds. You may have to go uphill a bit to find it, but you can find it! Enjoy it all!
