The best part of my mornings is leaving my house and getting my first glimpse of the sky.  Today it looks like there could be two suns rising.  And as dark as some of my more recent times have been, I could use the warmth of two rising suns in my life.  As I am a firm believer that God sometimes uses signs to communicate and mark journeys, I’m taking this to mean by days will be full of  hope, possibilities, opportunities, growth, and success.  All things that  flourish in the sun.

Life plugs along and waits for no man.  Either you let the darkness consume you, or  you dig in and work harder  so that when the rays return, your burdens are lighter and easier to handle now that you can better see the muck you’ve worked through and the path that lies ahead.  You don’t always need to see in full color HD high resolution the ditches and valleys through which you are traveling.  Sometimes, the darkness is a kindness.

While I’m here, a quick update on the writing side of things. I’ve finished my contracted short story and sent it in to the editor. (Can I get a Woot Woot?) Now, the real work begins! I’ve jumped back into my UF story I started last year. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t connect with it.  So instead of beating my head against a rock for another year on this idea, I completely disassembled it and started from scratch with a new story. Very daunting, but I am loving the new direction it’s heading and the energy I have for it.

Oh, and I’ve been asked to contribute to another short story collection! WOOOOT! No deats to share right now, but I just *may* have 2 short stories out this year. 😀

No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are raise your sights and see possibilities–always see them, for they are always there.
