Without Clouds...

There would be no silver linings.











I grew up being chastised if I felt sad or down.  I would be told I was so fortunate that I had no right to be sad.  So then, I felt guilty for being sad.  Now, I think about sad days like cloud days.  Sometimes it is only during the sad times that I get some of the most spectacular views.

  1. Oh this is lovely!
    Very true. I heard this on a podcast the other day and your post brings it to mind:

    "If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant;
    if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."
