Hello there lovely friends. I awoke this morning to see the snowflakes falling again. I had just caught up with the Countryfile programme as it had been filmed in my beloved Yorkshire Dales, and they were expressing their concerns about how the poor farmers were going to cope with yet another bad year (weatherwise).
As I came down the stairs the sun came out and although it was still snowing hard, the sunlight sparkled on the laying snow, and lifted my spirits. As I write this blog, most of the snow has now melted and I look forward to a chilly, but sunny morning.
Its very hard to see the sunny side of life when dark clouds hang over us, and everywhere we look its all doom and gloom. But amongst all the darkness, a little ray of hope shines through, just when we think its never going to end.
I have a theory that if we can pick out something positive, when all around us seems negative (like a torch pick outs objects in a darkened room), we can begin to build on this, spread the light, and start to work towards a positive outlook in our own lives.
Take today for instance, a dark, cold, wet, and snowy start to the day, and one small ray of sunshine made all the difference, and before long, the snow melted and the sun was shining out and making everything look bright again.
It is a well known fact the January and February can be the most depressing month's of the year. Heating and Christmas present bills all coming in, the weather at its worst, and the nights seem to drag on forever. But January marks the start of a new year, with more opportunities to be created, and ideas to be formed. February brings love in the air (and not just for the birds and bees) and the days are also becoming longer, and the nights shorter. Nature is stirring and the garden is starting to show its colour once again, with its pure white snowdrops, colourful crocus, and bright yellow daffodills all pushing their way upwards towards the sun.
I believe there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and I am always here at the other end of a keyboard lol, or phone, to offer guidance and love to you x
