Was I touched by sunshine today?

Yes. But I had to really wrack my brains to do so. The night and the morning dragged on with me imbedded in a hopeless morass of despair and gloom. So how did the sunshine break through to me?

Last evening, there was a mail from a friend who was struggling with the same pain that I was going through. I had put off calling her for fear of having to cry and feel my well-masked pain again. Finally, did put a call through. I spoke and cheered her through the blur and the haze. And there it was. A mail from her to thank me for the courage and hope I had given her! That was something!

The night brought a call from a very unlikely person. Someone who found me an inspiration. Someone who had been motivated to press on to greater goals and achieve their potential. How I did that? The Good Lord knows. For all I did was speak in a group session where the person concerned was a member.

As if that was not enough! This morning, I opened my door to a gentle knock. Having seen me sneeze and sniffle, the previous night, a good friend brought me a dose of Vitamin C (translated orange). This comes from someone who hates climbing steps and yet she makes it to my room amidst the morning rush. That was in itself amazing. What more evidence do I need to provide for sunshine?
