Dark Then Light

      Under gray clouds and dreary days a new year begins. In The unwanted and unwelcome life continues on: gray and cold days of a January month. We rise, we step into another day, and we wonder how this will be different; this is dark. Along the roads of a new year in the beginning month we travel through, but we aren't through.. for the dark will not last forever. We wake and we rise, wondering what will be in this new year, and this the new month, while walking through Winter's icy grasp. It is here that light breaks through our "clouds", shines upon the mundane, unknown and unpleasant roads we are traveling through a beginning.. through a winter. 

         Dark then light as our "clouds" break and our thoughts and expectations change, for this is the natural order of things, and with it the encouragement that light still comes even if it is after the dark. Dark then light, first the cold and the dreary and the dismal, and then hope; this is light. 

          It is here at the beginning of a new year, and a new start in life that hope still remains (even in the dreary days of dark). For there is light after the winter, warmth after the cold, and there is light after the dark that we must all walk through, darker days of living that are only part of our story and not the end.
