The value of light

Yesterday was dark, raining, bitterly cold and if you're not into those three things it would have been a fairly miserable day. By contrast, this morning, light flooded through the windows allowing for an easier wake up and immediately the day feels like it may be better or at least different in a potentially more positive way. Light can make things feel lighter whilst darkness can add pounds onto your shoulders, in addition to whatever is resting there already. We cannot change the atmosphere we awake into however we can remind ourselves that each day is a new day and to take advantage of the light when it appears for us.
