Breakthrough
ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 8:44 am
When I see a sky like this . . .
I can’t help but be reminded — punch holes in the clouds to let the sunlight stream in.
A simple act can kickstart a wealth of ideas.
Look out the window. Find a breakthrough.

I’m going to drop kick my day!

That reminded me of something I said earlier this week.
It was a typical cloudy morning and everybody was moaning about the weather, so I replied with…
“There’s a blue sky up there somewhere. You just have to look out above the clouds to find it.”

I’m working on embracing those clouds so I can enjoy watching them open up slowly!

These types of pictures really makes me fresh and it makes me want to go to terrace of my house and lie down in the ground to watch the clouds for long time. Time just passes by like anything and it really makes me fresh.
I took a shot of the sky few days back from my terrace and I see it often when I want to get fresh. It is a scenery that we don’t find very often.
If you would like to see, I could upload that picture to flickr and give a link here.

Clouds come & go. As we all have cloudy days, it is uplifting to be reminded of the truth that the sun is always shining–we just can’t see it. We can focus on our inner light & know the clouds will pass.

Hi Keli!
What a great idea! Clouds are a good thing. They make the sky interesting.
ME Liz Strauss said
Sure thing, Ram,
Bring it on over. I can’t get enough of the sky.
ME Liz Strauss said
Hi Meryl333,
Remembering that some days it’s our job to find the sun is a motivation to keep going.
ME Liz Strauss said
Thanks, Geoffrey, great to see you!

Here in Berlin today the sky is clouded. I sometimes think “how boring would it be if we had the same glazing blue sky every day?”. I like clouds - their different forms, their movements.
ME Liz Strauss said
Fabulous photo, Ram!
You should write about it.

Hi Ulla,
When we moved from Austin to California, I had that experience. The Austin skies catch three weather fronts — they put on a dynamic show every day. The constant blue sky for months in South California seemed sterile and uninteresting after that.

Liz, I’ll write about the photo the coming Sunday in my blog and will show you the link to the post. Glad you liked it.
