Sunshine is More Than Enough!

by Monique Carter | November 3, 2023 | 2 min read

During the storms of life, which may include exams and personal trials, it is often hard to find the good. Also, with the seasons changing and moving into the holidays a lot of emotions are coming to the surface. When I woke up this morning to sunshine it refreshed my soul. It a new day with new opportunities to do some good in this world. Helping people when you are going through a tough time is therapeutic. 鈥淏e strong,鈥 鈥渂e stoic,鈥 and 鈥済rind it out鈥 are mantras that need to be obliterated. Those are not keys to success; that road will lead to anxiety, stress and physical ailments.

Let鈥檚 nourish our bodies, spirits and mental health. Let鈥檚 not work too hard and ignore our humanity. Let鈥檚 feel all the feelings and take time to process them. Let鈥檚 find our tribe and not go it alone. Life should not be a journey of solitude鈥OL鈥e are not Supermen or Superwomen鈥here is no fortress of solitude. Can we build a fortress of uplifting people and deeds that will enable us to move forward healthy, happy and whole? I don鈥檛 want a struggle finish; I do not want to limp to the end of this program. I want to finish with a flourish — a celebration — and have the mindfulness to enjoy my accomplishments.

As this year draws to a close, as we deal with emotions and exams let鈥檚 look at the sun and remember that if the sun is shining there is hope! Hope triumphs over cloudy and bleak days. Hope wins when we did not achieve the grade we wanted on an exam. Hope never fails!
