Summers

The dawn crept slowly across the sky, making me think that I was late for work. I looked at the time just to make sure. It looks like summer is making its way to my northern hemisphere; my days will last longer for the next 3 or 4 months. I used to love summers as a kid. Summers meant vacations but now as an adult, I take my vacations in the winter.

I can’t say that I look forward to the summer months. It hasn’t been a good year for me so far. There’s little I can expect to gain in the upcoming months. I’ve lost touch with dear friends over a stupid dispute. As immature as the disagreement might have been matters not because no one was eager to make amends. Though I have little hope that 2008 could improve, I have high expectations that 2009 will be better.

My waves of anguish are receding and I can still smile optimistically. As the sun turns the black sky to blue and hides the stars, I’m reminded that each day should be taken with the same approach. Darkness doesn’t last forever; there is always a light at the end of it. That’s something worth looking forward to!
