heavy sky

woke up this morning, and the sky seemed heavy.
it reminded me of my youth. my mother to be precise.
like a constant heavy cloud hovering above me.
i also thought of the current economic climate..
what is there to do though?
then my wedding vows came to mind.
..in good times and bad times..
as much as i love my dear sweetie, the troubles we had, made our bond stronger. most of the problems being external, it requires so much patience and support to get through. its easy to love when your happy and things go your way. but in a way we were doomed from the start.
thinking of it now without hard times i wouldn't have been able to develop to the way i see things now.
maybe it was a good thing that my mother was the way she was, i used to think its me - of course. knowing how much it hurts i swore never to be like her. now people tell me i have a good heart, yes i learned to care, but it was hard to get here.
maybe it takes a financial crisis for people to see that not money is precious, but how to handle it.
having good times and bad times can develop a healthy balance between what is important to you and how to cope with set-backs.
the sky will clear, all we need is patience.
Patience and focus on what is important so we don't get lost in chaos.
Every situation has been there before and we survived.
think of something that would make you happy today, and go on - do it!
