Todays Is A Good Day

I walk into the sunshine, feeling like today is a good day.

I look around and I see birds, butterflies... All the creatures that the Higher Being created. I have suppressed the day before yesterday, which will live forever in my memory as a tragic day. I move on, and I celebrate the slight breeze and the smell of flowers coming from my neighbor's garden.

A cloud covers the sun, and I feel dark. Suddenly, all my memories come at once, blinding me from the rest of the world. I am oblivious to the birds now, and the trees are leafless... dead. I fall on my knees and begin to cry. Tears slide off my face and create a puddle on the floor. I am lonely. I am blue.

The cloud passes, and my world is back to normal. The tears suddenly dry up and the scrapes on my knees are all but gone. The memories seem as if they were never there and I continue to live. The trees are smiling at me, it seems, and the birds tell me that there will be better days in my life.

I continue walking out in the sunshine, and I know today is a good day.
