Light

Today I am thankful for the light in my life and those who share it with me; a sunny sky, a glimmer of light in the darkness, the twinkle in an eye, a glowing smile, lightness of spirit, bright laughter.  I give thanks for the moon brightening up the night sky, dancing candlelight, a warm fire shared with friends, the light of understanding, the light of hope in a heart, the beauty shining from a soul and the warmth of love shared.


The end of daylight savings time is the worst day of the year for me.  Others may be looking for that lost hour of sleep...but I mourn the loss of the light.  I have come to some measure of peace with the dark months, I have found that they exist to slow you down, and encourage you to rest and relax for a little bit....to regain your strength for the rest of the year.

I am always searching for the light...and at this time of the year, I look for it in the hearts and smiles of the people that inhabit my days.  These sources of light...the light that come from within are always the brightest, always the warmest.   I pray that I can light the way for someone once in a while when they are feeling cold and  the way looks dark.  We must be the light to light each others way when all looks dark and bleak.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

~ Martin Luther King Jr.
