Dawn

So often the phrase "It's always darkest before the dawn" seems to apply to my life. While that is true, it is not as negative a statement as I have frequently taken it to be. Yes, I have had more than my share of dark times-- but that means I have had many, many new dawns as well. I do grow weary of the dark, but I am beginning to trust that the dawn is soon to follow-- and will follow-- and that the sun will break warm upon me-- and it will be a new day. When my children have been dismayed by a difficult day, I have been known to try to encourage them by reminding them to find something good in every day-- even if the only thing good about today is that it wont last any longer than till tomorrow! Today is a better day--
