Do you ever reflect on light?
Yes, all the time. Light is the opposite of darkness, yet we need the night time for resting. There is nothing like a day of sunshine, blue sky, moving clouds and a soft breeze. This is a free gift to cherish.
A few years ago a friend of mine, and I, drove to Springfield Missouri (from Upstate New York) to attend a wedding reception. It took us two days to get there. After staying a week, we started home on Labor Day morning. We had a 12 hour drive ahead of us to get us to Ohio where we would spend the night.
We were on the road an hour, and it started to rain. For twelve hours solid, the rain came down in torrents. There were constant flood watches announced on the radio. We had to stop several times because of poor visibility. My car engine light came on (called my husband on his cell and he said to ignore it...I trusted him). It was still raining when we checked into the hotel AND the next morning when we started out again around 6 a.m.
It continued to rain until around 9 a.m. Then we noticed the sky...it had started to whiten, and the rain had slowed down. Gray clouds floated along, then, suddenly, we saw a patch of blue sky! The SUN came out! By the time we arrived home around 4:00 p.m. the air was crisp, and the sun shone all that day.
I have never forgotten the way I felt to see the sun come out! I felt as if were were entering the land of OZ! Never was I so thankful and grateful for LIGHT!
To this day, I never take Light for granted, and, yes, in answer to your question, I reflect on it constantly. Especially after a couple gloomy, rainy days.
Blessings, Sparklea

An unforgettable Pet...
Did you ever have a pet that long after it's gone you were never able to forget? I had my dog Brandy, A Belgium Shepard for 10 years. He was the most incredible animal. We came to a sad ending due to the break up of my marriage, after moving to a different state.
