Semi Sun

Do you see that?! That is sun shining on the eaves of the house across the street from the coffee shop! There are ominous black clouds in the background, and I think it was also sprinkling when I shot this, but there is sun too. SUN. That is the important part.

If you want, we can use this picture as a metaphor for my life right now.

In the middle of January - right when the Sacramento sun gets obliterated by two to three weeks of daily, heavy fog so dreary that one might think 'so this is what it's going to be like after the nuclear war' - my mood was delivered a one-two-oh-snap-three! punch by other typical life disasters all at once.

I knew going into the mess of the past few weeks that eventually, even soon, things would turn much rosier, and I would get my beloved sunshine back.

Now my disasters are proving what wonderful opportunities they really are, just as the sun is starting to peek through the haze.
