Morning Coffee, Perspective, and Blue Skies

Every morning, my girlfriend and I ask each other what we’re grateful for while we enjoy our coffees.

She sat looking out the window and said, “I’m grateful for the blue sky.”

I sat across from her, looking out the other side of the same window.

“What blue sky?” I said. “All I see are clouds.”

“Turn around,” she said with a smile.

I moved toward her and turned around. A blue sky stretched out to the horizon – not a cloud in sight. It was painted with wispy hues of yellow and orange from the sunrise.

That moment reminded me of an important lesson:

In life, sometimes all you can see are clouds. But with a little movement in the right direction and a change of perspective, blue skies are waiting.

Have a great day. Go find your blue sky.

Love you lots.
