A landscape image of a foggy sunrise
We all love sunshine. It always brightens our days. Over the years many musicians have written and sang songs about sunshine. One song I like is “I Have Sunshine in my Pocket.” Just the thought of it makes a person smile. People forget how simple things can turn a negative day into a positive day. Something as simple as a beautiful bird, a rainbow, a bright sky or even flowers in bloom. I love to plant flowers every year as the perennials last and you end up with a gorgeous garden. My late mother-in-law loved roses and I do as well. They last through all seasons. Over the years the botanists have developed many varieties of flowers and trees. Right now I have a red cardinal in my front garden. He just loves to wander about. Sunshine in your thoughts keeps the negative out. The song, “You are the Sunshine of my Life,” by Stevie Wonder, is true for most of us. For many individuals their husband, wife, partner, children and even grandchildren are the sunshine of their lives. I know my grandchildren are. There are people who find it difficult to be positive everyday. They may have too many problems and may be facing difficult issues. Frequently, it stays in their minds and sometimes they even become depressed. The point is that overcoming depression or sadness including extreme difficulties in a person’s life is not always easy. Taking one second at a time to change your thinking takes true effort and work. After all, your brain is adjusted to thinking a certain way and finds it comfortable. I have known people in my entire life who were always negative. They simply could not wake up and appreciate anything. I always love to see the sunshine and any chances to be at the ocean are at the top of my list. Learing to be grateful and appreciate the small things in life is what is truly important. Do you have sunshine in your life? The Good Gus Series is available online at Kindle, Nook and Waterstones.
