A Minute With Mom

You Are My Sunshine

She was born in the evening, but I called her my Sunshine. She brought light into my world: hope for a bright tomorrow. And she grew quickly, too quickly. Now she is grown - a young woman on her own. But she will always be my sunshine.

Who or what is it that brightens your day, giving you hope for a bright tomorrow? A child? Your hobby? Volunteering your time? Your faith? Whatever it is, don't ever lose touch, and don't hold back. Bask in the sunshine. Enjoy with all your heart and cherish the moments. When the clouds come and it seems there can be no sunshine, remember what it is that brings you hope. Remember the sunshine, and have faith that it will return. Use that faith to light the way through the darkest times. Find your sunshine, your hope, your faith.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
- Helen Keller
