No matter how dark the clouds are, every rain storm ends. Some end abruptly. Others turn to a light drizzle before the sun eventually returns. But they all end. And yes, cynics, sunshine eventually ends too. Night, and sometimes rain clouds replace its warm rays. But knowing that nothing, not pain, nor happiness, nor rain, nor sunshine is permanent is a really good thing! The wise learn to appreciate the good moments because they are fleeting and to endure the bad moments because they will not last forever either. I had both types of moments today. And the contrast reminded me I'm alive! This is life in real, living, vibrant technicolor! Thank you Said for being the force that changed rain into sun.
