happy as the sun.

there are a million things in this world that you can't control or count on. you can't control the traffic (esp. here in la), you cant control what schools you'll get into, or the promotions you'll receive at work; maybe you can't count on your alarm clock to go off every morning at exactly 6:05, or any other insanely early hour you have to get up at, and although you can't really control the weather isn't it interesting how no matter what you do, the sun will always shine? sure there will be the cloudy days where the sun is covered up by those big white puffy things you used to wish (and sometimes still do) you could sit and play on, but eventually the sun will come out, and show its lovely face again. you can count on that sun to always be there. in a constantly evolving world isn't a small comfort to know the sun will never change? it will always be warm. it will always be yellow, and it will always rise in the morning and set in the evening. no matter what goes on, that sun will be there. how many things in the world can you say that about? how many things never really change? plants change through the seasons, animals grow and evolve, technology advances, buildings are built and torn down, bare landscapes erode and/or are turned into strip malls and housing developments, people definitely change, gosh i could go on and on. the only other thing i can think of in this moment that is as constant as the sun, is the moon.

in my ever changing life, i see very few things that are solidly constant or left unchanging. so i find myself very thankful these days for the wonderful consistency that is the sun {and moon}. thank you sun for always rising in the morning and setting in the evening. you are a comfort. and i do enjoy seeing you most every morning.

you were especially wonderfully bright today and i am very thankful for that.

{also since i am 'moving' to spokane next year, which isn't the sunniest place on earth i find myself appreciating the sun more and more these days. however even when its covered up there, isn't it cool to know somewhere in the world the sun will still be out and about??}

today i am thankful for the sun. what are you thankful for?

i hope this finds you in happiness, health and love xoxo
