When Our Strength is Found

   In the world of my mind, even the rain has much color. In my rocky life, there were so many days where hope was about all I had...and paint. Loneliness can creep in on us. However, if we keep going, we may find the color and light in the darkness. If there is the possibility of a new and better day, sometimes we hang onto that.

   I'm pleased with how this painting turned out. It captures those days when someone feels pressed, challenged, or tried. The trials are the rain and the light and color are the hope.

   All of us have gone through things that shape us, test us, and can make us stronger. I, for one, am lucky to still be here. Sometimes when we face Hell and then trudge through it, we get to see some wonderful things.

   Let's be like the figure in this painting. Let's keep going and look for the light... X
