It's 5:20 pm, and the natural dusky light is still peeking through our windows, just barely about to welcome night into our home. The lights are still turned off. And we can still see. And it's 5:20 pm, well...now it's 5:23.
It's been a long winter already, and it's by no means over. But after months of darkness blanketing our home a little after four, I am looking out of my window while cooking dinner and I can see trees, and smokestacks and grey skies glimmering with sunshine's hot pink wave goodbye, and hope, I'm pretty sure when I look out at all those other beautiful things {especially when I'm seeing them after 5 pm} I see hope.
Because we're going to make it through this winter. And we're going to make it through life. And it's 5:29, and dinner's in the oven and I'm just now turning on a light and life is just really looking better everyday. Don't you think?
Just feeling pretty grateful. That's all.
