Somewhere over the...

It was an normal day nothing unusual about it, but for some reason I felt a little down, perhaps because the weather was a little gloomy, who am I kidding the weather was very gloomy. I figured once I went spinning my somber mood would shortly depart; at least that is what I had hoped. Exercise can be a great way to relieve stress and tension, but although I had an excellent workout I still felt a little bummed out. About what? I do not know! I have no reason whatsoever to be down but for some reason I was, I guess it was just one of those days. As I drove home from my intense spinning class, I started to observe the very dark sky and noticed a bright rainbow in the midst of it all. I do not want to sound cliché in saying that after the storm there is always a rainbow, but I couldn't help but think that the sky was so gloomy and within it was something so beautiful. It was as though God was saying everything else could be falling apart but hey I am still here, there is always beauty in all the mess. In everything good or bad, happy or sad He is in it. The rainbow was proof enough for me; there is hope...

Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative (j/k).


Rainbows apologize for angry skies. You're right though at the end. Good post. Stop thinking so much, you might inadvertently develop FAD.

Me, not think so much, then I would not be me. =P

WOW, you quoted Maya Angelou, she definitely has it well put or should I say well written. =)

This is funny; a friend of mine was feeling down because she felt life was getting routine (and this was on Sunday) I told her remember that after the storm there is always a rainbow! And there I was driving thinking what a dark and gray day; only to look up and see the most beautiful rainbow I've seen. I stopped at the light and took a picture and smiled.

Life at time can be over whelming and we might feel like the walls are getting tighter but there is always a way out, there is always a door that will open up to you that and will can save you from all your worries. Life is routine most of the time but then there are moments that takes our breath away and those moments are the one we should dwell on and stay focused on. That no matter how bad things might be there will always be one GREAT day to out weigh the rest.

Life in all its dark days or dark moments has a place where light shines in. Let God be your light to shine through and though him all is possible. Although we feel weak at times with no explanation of what is effecting us. Just remember that we never sit in a dark corner alone for too long. Look and you will see the how not alone you are and how good life can be.

Who is this friend you are referring to? Here I thought I was the only one taking pictures of a rainbow. lol

I completely agree with you, we are never alone! God is always with us, the question is do we want to see Him because whether we believe it or not He is evident in everything. =)
