One week down...

...and all I'm asking for 

is a little sunshine!

The beginning of the new year

always seems bleak:

Back to working full weeks,

no more holidays,

family get-togethers,

or vacations for a while.

Gloomy weather only

adds to the dreariness.

But just when it seems hopeless,

the sun comes out, 

the sky clears,

it's blue skies and

crisp air all around.

It's a new start,

a chance to make the

best of things,

to appreciate the goodness

that is all around

if we just open our eyes.

 It's the perfect time to say

Hello World,

this is gonna be my year!

All I'm saying is that

the sunshine makes it easier.
