This past Monday, the week started out as hot as the last.  But that afternoon, a thunderstorm came through with the crack of lighting, roaring thunder and fierce winds.  Just looking outside at the downpour was refreshing after the boiling heat.

It made me think of a story from a long time ago.  Once upon a time there was a lady who had two sons.  Her first son sold umbrellas, and her second son sold straw sandals.  Whenever it was raining, she would worry because her second son had no business that day.  And when the sun was shining, she would worry for her first son and his umbrella business.

These days there are many books that are written with a positive and uplifting theme.  I think if that lady from long ago were to read one of these books, she would see things in a different light.  She would be happy when it rains for her first son and his business, and she would be happy for her second son when the sunlight peaked through the clouds.

I hope this week will be filled with this kind of positive energy!
