Source of Light

Getting up in the morning is getting harder and harder. I need me some sun! Waking up in the dark is really not my thing. I guess that's why I have been so into dark images lately. Shadows contrasting the light. The light. The light.

The light moments:

My good friend is having her first baby in May! It's going to be a boy. I saw the 3D ultrasounds yesterday and he is already adorable. Sucking his thumb, hand over his eye. So cute. He is going to get lots of squishies from auntie Genie when he finally emerges. Into the light. :)

My other good friend is in love. She yearns for husband and family, and I so wish those things for her. She is a loving person and I am glad she has found someone worthy. I haven't met him yet, but I can tell :) It's so cute. She has this befuddled, love-struck expression. Looking at her, reminds me of what that felt like from the inside. Her face is alight with happiness. :)

My goddaughter had her first slow dance with a boy this weekend. I think she likes him. I can tell by the sparkle in her eye. Her face lit up when she told me about it. It has begun. I wish her well in her travels through infatuation and love. :)

Seeing my students learn and be engaged in their learning and whatever their young minds are creating makes me happy. It's like watching 30 light bulbs go on at the same time. Beautiful. :)

Every time I log on to my blog and read all your comments, your gifts of encouragement and support, my hearts glows with gratitude.

These are my sources of light in the darkness. It is very important to find them in each of our lives, especially in this time of year. When it is darkest. When it is coldest. When it seems like it will be frozen forever.

What are your sources of light even in the darkest hours?

May you have many of them :)

Blessed be :)
