Looking for the Light In the Dark

There are days that seem darker than lighter - metaphorically - for me lately.  When there is more darkness than light I try to find the good.  The positive.  The happy.  The things that make me smile.

Like my husband sneaking into the kitchen when the dishwasher is finished running and quietly emptying it.  Lifting items as quietly as he can and putting them away so that I don't have to do it and so I won't know - but I do and I let him.

Like when the driver of a car rapidly approaching me as I prepare to cross a street suddenly slows down and lets me cross without worry.

Like when the old man in the grocery store moves his cart out of my way and asks me how I'm doing.

Like when an old friend reaches out unexpectedly.

Like when a happy song comes on the radio and it makes me smile.

My life is not tough.  It is not rough.  There are way more good than bad.  I'm lucky and I'm grateful.  So when there is some darkness I just need to breath my way through it and know the light is just around the corner again.
