Contrasts...



Life is full of contrasts.

Black and white, left and right, forward and backward. I suppose we appreciate the value of forward, when we truly know the term backward.

In life there are so many circumstances, which we can remember by a colour: a really shiny and happy memory might be whiter than white, but a gloomy, sad one may be black as night. When we have situations which crop up in our lives, we invariably spend more time on the greys, charcoals and the blacks. But really, we should focus on the silver, and the glorious bright white itself.

Yesterday held lots of shades of monochrome for me. And I'm so annoyed that I let the dark grey and black of the incidents which occurred, take over, and cause me much upset, grief and yes, lots of tears. In reality, it was a day full of brightness, with the people who came to visit me, the love they passed on, and the happiness generated. Those people made me truly understand the horrible moments in life; because their kindness, thoughtfulness, and compassion emphasises their beauty and causes them to stand head and shoulders above the darkness of others.

No, I don't understand why some people prefer to be negative in their approach and in their dealings with people, but with the friends, loved ones and family members I have, do I really care? I'm constantly saying this, but I do feel I am so lucky to have such lovely people in my life!

Remember your light moments and bright people today, and let them lift the greys and the dullness which others try to encourage - we really should pity them, not be upset by them, eh????
