This week, we are shining our light. The sun breaks through as a constant reminder. After the dark and cloudy cold, its light is blinding. We let go of yesterday and move into tomorrow. To know darkness is to appreciate this bright. The biting air softens with its warmth. This is the cycle we call life on earth. Each day dutifully follows the last. We are writing stories of change.

Are you shining? Naturally,
