Days 6-8: Let your light shine

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. ~Elizabeth Kubler Ross

I missed posting this weekend. Part of it was a technical problem. It seems that my computer at home does not have the most current version of something and so it would not allow me to get to the page where I could type. I apologize for that and with hope will have the problem resolved by this coming weekend.

I like quotes. The above quote was one of the top ten quotes on a website that I frequent. Here is the link. If you like quotes, too, you will enjoy the site. http://www.famous-quotes-and-quotations.com/inspirational-quote.html

Sometimes I think we forget the simple things in life, like the fact that our true beauty lies within, not on the outside. We can brush and polish and hone the outside to a shiny finish, but without that same thing done to the inside, we really won't shine. Our true selves won't show through when all around us darkness prevails.

I am not saying that we should not take care of our outsides, but we should never neglect the inner us, either.
