Hanging In There

The forecast for this week was supposed to change from clear, blue skies to rain. Each day the forecast keeps getting moved out by a day thus delaying the inevitable rain. The sun managed to through a streak of colour this morning in between the layers of clouds that are building in the sky. It was pretty. The sun eeked out another beautiful sunrise even after the forecasters said it would be overcast. That's perseverance.

Sometimes, we just need to hang on for one more day too. It's often not as bad as we think but it depends where we put our focus. Of course, I could have focused on the grey skies or I could have focused on the streak of colour between the clouds. Both options were available and yet I chose to see the colour. This principle applies in almost any situation. You can focus on what's wrong or what's right. Either way you will find what you are looking for.
