Quotography: Sunrises and Sunsets

May you have just enough cloud in your life
to create glorious sunsets.
~Unknown

Finally! My favorite topic! If there’s one thing in my files that I have plenty of…besides pics of Peanut…it’s sunsets. This one is, amazingly, not a Caribbean sunset. It was taken in off the end of a pier on the St. John’s river in Florida.

I like the innuendo behind the quote. If your life is nothing but clear, blue skies 24-7-365, you can’t really appreciate how much you’ve been blessed.  But let the few clouds roll in, perhaps an impressive storm or two…and all of a sudden everything gets put into perspective…quickly. And, all of a sudden, we appreciate more what we took for granted when our skies were clear.

Have you ever noticed the most stunning sunsets are those that have clouds in the sky? When we see the sun break through the clouds, it brightens our attitude and lifts our spirits. When we find a way to shine through the clouds in our life, the result can be just as glorious.

What are you taking for granted in your life right now?
Have you weathered storms that caused life to be better when they cleared?
What are the clouds in your life that could make your sunset more appreciated?
