Looking up


Life's been rather full of challenges lately and my bright outlook on life has been a matter of determination at times.

Today out on my walk I spied this pot of nasturtiums, sitting on a post bold as a stop sign. I took it as an opportunity to remember that at times it's wise to pause a moment, count my blessings and simply look up and find the rainbow in the middle of my storm. Maybe there are clear skies ahead.

So that's my thought for today. Look up! There's a bright spot of hope if one will just trust and keep looking for it. Even, and maybe especially, when disappointment and challenge make me want to do otherwise.
