The shadow proves the sunshine

I love weather.

I don't know it works. I'm not eveng oing to try and be an expert on meteorology, because no doubt there'll be someone there to correct me. Which is fair. Educate the uneducated.

But there's something about the sun that just brings out the smile and happiness in people. Vitamin D withdrawals turn to overdosing in fear that there won't be another chance for a 'kick' soon.

I had both my withdrawals and my shot this week.

You may have read my previous post - you may have not, and that's cool. No hate here. It was a particularly raw post - probably the rawest piece I'll write this year. Because let's be honest - one doesn't have just one bad moment in their life, no?

But the post has become a blessing.

I'm a big fan of Switchfoot. For those not in the know, they're a Christian rock band. They aren't out to convert you, they're not out there to say GOD IS THE ONLY WAY - they're very subtle and that's what I like about them.

One particular favourite of mine is the title of the post - The shadows prove the sunshine. I don't even know if that's the correct title - the s belongs to either shadow, prove or sunshine - but it's true.

In all of my melancholy and dark grey, there was a light. Sometimes our lives are dark grey clouds. Our dull moments. Moments where we are in a far away land.

But it's temporary. The westerly winds blow the dark cloud again, and the sun is allowed to shine freely again.

I encourage you all to help someone out who has a raincloud or dull grey cloud approaching them. Do think of them, and ask what you can do to help. Everyone goes through them, but everyone can get through them with some help and encouragement.

It happened to me, I received that support, and now I'm back :) Thank you to all those that did, have and continue to think about me. You are all very precious.

Do let me know when I can return the favour.
