The sun will come out tomorrow...

"The sun will come out tomorrow..." are lyrics from the song sung by a plucky little red-haired girl, named Annie. Today, I know exactly what she means. It's been a tough few days and, to make matters worse, it's been raining cats and frogs! However, tomorrow's weather forecast is for sunny skies and that something to look forward to. Normally, I wouldn't complain about all this wet. I mean, as a frog, I love water, but enough is enough, already! I woke up this morning feeling like I wanted to start looking for my next inspired activity, but this inclement weather isn't doing much to get my creative juices flowing. The cold and damp just makes me want to huddle in my blanket next to a roaring and warming fire; perhaps with a nice cup of hot tea...or, maybe, a big 'ol mug of spiced swamp water. Either way, I'm going to put off making any decisions regarding my next artisitc project, at least until the skies return to blue. I find it difficult to do much when the weather is "off". But,  I must admit, this is a great time for thinking about tomorrow and what direction I want to go in as a writer. In the meantime, though, I'll take this opportunity to enjoy being all snuggled up with a good book, and my warm, soothing beverage. I always try to be grateful for every day, despite any challenges I have to face, like the weather. And today won't be any different. I'll enjoy my time indoors, just being here and being fully alive. I have faith that the sun will truly come out tomorrow and will warm not only my body, but my mind and spirit, as well. I can already feel that river of creativity begining to flow...
On a grander scale, the Annie song means more than a mere change in atmospheric pressure. It gives us faith in a future that is better and brighter. Let's hope she's right on both counts.
