At first.... I thought I made a bad decision... But I have come to realize that I didn't.
So back to day 21....
This I Believe:
I believe that the sun will come out tomorrow. When I was little I would here these words and I would just think to myself, "Of course it will, what is the sun going to do, dissapear?" it wasn't until I was older that I discoverd a new, deeper meaning to this phrase.
Everyone has their bad days, when they feel like absolutely nothing is going right and the world is against them. At least I know I do. Everyone around you tells you to try and look at the bright side of things, but it is hard when you are feeling so low and all you want to do is cry. One particular day I found this the hardest. I was personally at an all time high. I was with my best friends doing something that I loved. As we were traveling home after winning first place in a marching band competition there was a tragic accident. The bus driver of one of our tour buses fell asleep and went off the side of the road. One of our amazing staff members, whom everyone absolutely adored, stood up grabbed the wheel and to try and direct the bus back on to the road, We were very fortunate that none of our band members, our friends, our family, were seriously injured, but in saving everyone else Heather was ejected from the bus and killed.
I lost someone very dear to me that night. It seemed as though my grief would never end. But slowly it did. Day by day, inch by inch my sun came back up and life just got brighter. Of course the memory of Heather will live in the hearts of the people that she touched forever and she will always be missed.
So whether it be the death of a loved one, or another not so traumatic greif in your own life, the sun will ALWAYS come out tomorrow. This I believe.
And I am going to take this beliefe and apply it to life right now!! I hope that sun rises real soon!
