There is a storm brewing

All day it has looked like a storm is brewing, its been dark and cloudy and there has been thunder and a bit of lightening for theatrical effects. A few hours later its bright and sunny as though there had been no change in the weather at all. The dark clouds had no rain in them after all. (at least for us)
Often times in life some situations happen that threaten to destroy the fabric of our existence and then without a warning they sometimes disappear. What we are left with may just be pain and anxiety of trying to look into the future and see what it has in store for us.
The worry and anxiety that we have been through may have just been for nothing.
Looking at this Picture I believe even the darkest clouds cannot hide the bright light behind it.

Those clouds do look very menacing in your picture and you are right...even after the darkest days the sun comes out

That was how it was today @Marilynda1225 but I was happy to see the sun after some strong winds.

No matter how worse the storm is, the sun still shines behind it. We are waiting for rain because farmers need it.

@Jessicalynnt I like chasing the storms.. But its not always safe.. though its very exhilarating. The storms of life are yet another story.. I don't go chasing them down but I bend low enough to survive.

@crazyhorseladycx Yea a refund would be good,
but then I got good pictures too so I guess I don't want my refund after all . I look at them as good photo opportunities. I want a good picture of lightening. Hubby won't let me get out when the fireworks happen.,

@ridingbet They sun is always there, its just our fear that clouds out and blocks the light leading us to believe that the there is no end to our problems.

@ridingbet The clinically depressed may need medication, while for the other who drive themselves to the edge .. its important to remember that no one can drive us anywhere, we alone are our masters.

@sofssu i agree but for those who are sick and ill, they can be overly depressed and won't resort to having medication, treatment and management.

@epiffanie Is not just mother nature, even life also holds surprises behind the darkest days for us. Being prepared to take them in our stride and accepting the storms and the pleasant weather as part of life makes life more stable and easier for us.
