You... are My Sunshines!

Today's entry is dedicated to the one of the most beautiful things that can make me smile from ear to ear almost every single day for the past twenty one years... especially whenever my heart is heavy...

the shining Sun...

The first thing I see almost every morning <3

In our lives, there is always something or someone that can brighten up our darkest moments. It does not necessarily have to be something big or someone special and extraordinary. It can just be the smallest things or the most ordinary people, sometimes it can even be the people who we meet for the first time.

What makes those things special is how we feel when they are not there, when there is nothing to light us up in the dark, when there is nothing there to keep our heart warm.
It is the same way for the people. No matter if they just pass by your life and leave, or they come to stay, these people leave you a good feeling every time you say goodbye. You learn a lot from them, and it always make you feel a little better every time you see their faces.

You can go through the day living the life you have always wanted, but at the end of the day, when all the lights are out, it is the things and the people who are with you at that moment that matter the most.

However, sometimes these things are there, but they are not making you feel the way you always do, you start wondering why they are not making you feel any better... Well, does everything have to stay the same all the time?
People change. Sometimes it is the people around you who change, but sometimes it can be you who are changing. You just haven't seen it yet.
People also have their own moments. Expecting them to stay the same to make you happy all the time would not be a good thing to do if you really care and want to keep them from walking out of your life. Sometimes all they need is a shoulder to lean on... your shoulder to lean on. So ask, but give in return... life is a two-way communication.

These things do not always have to be right there for you to make you feel better. Sometimes just the thought of them would lighten up your loads. You cannot see them doesn't mean they are not always there. Just know that no matter what, there is always someone who cares about you and there is always something that can make you smile... in the most ordinary ways.

Literally for me, it is the brightest thing of all that can bring the happiness to my heart.
I love the sunshine on my face every time I step out of my front porch, it really does make my heart a little warmer.
At night, the sun is not right there to shine, but I know that at another beautiful place, where my heart is, it is shining for the people who I love the most, my home... my family.
Rainy or cloudy days would be the days when the sun is there, I just can't see it... But knowing that it is there is good enough. "Just tomorrow, I will get to see it again."
There can be times when the sun shines, but I still feel cold... It can be in the winter or at times when I feel like the world is turning upside down... I am still at ease, because at least I know it is trying to warm up my world... it's just external factors and myself that stopping me from feeling the warmth...

I am thankful for the life I am given. I truly am. Waking up every day to positive feelings has been one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. I am carrying on everyday thinking about the love I have from everyone around me and how I can give back. I am learning to appreciate everything, from the smallest thing and the most ordinary person, to the biggest blessing I have received. Life is good, and what make it even better would definitely be the wonderful people and things around me, starting from the simplest ones.

So start noticing the "sunshines" around you and learn to appreciate them one by one, because they are not going to be there for you forever... or even if they are, you will not be around forever to be with them...
