I've learned to appreciate...

It's a dark and dreary day here in Minnesota. But still, it's a nice day. An opportunity to sit down and write. To reflect. To think about life. And how nice it is. Oh, I just happen to be in love. With someone. With life. And so every day is wonderful. Yes, even on a cloudy day, I get my share of sunshine. From within. That's a benefit of being in love. Makes one happy. An optimist. I find so many things to enjoy. To savor. I get completely absorbed in today. In the moment. Makes me feel more alive than ever. I've even learned to appreciate a dark and dreary day. --Jim Broede
