LOOK UP

I've been trying to stay busy, but it's just so hard. The other day before the horrible tragedy in Newtown, I was having a rough day. Not really sure what was wrong, but I knew I wasn't feeling myself. After dropping the boys off at school, I pulled up to the house and got out of the car. For some reason I decided to just look up. I never just look up into the sky like that, but that day I did. At that very moment I felt a sense of calmness come over me. Peace is another word I would use.

Before I went into the house I wanted to share my view with others because there was something there. I know for some it's just maybe the sun peaking through the clouds, but I saw more...I felt more. To me it was much more. I shared my view on instagram without any filters or alterations to this image. My caption was "sometimes looking up makes things better". I know that for the families who lost loved ones it will take a little more than just looking up, but to me, it's a start.

 

God bless us all.
