~:[CH14 - Day 116]:~ Sunshine & Downpours

For many, today ended their MUN season on a bright note. I was impressed with the number of awards that we took home and also impressed by the ones who showed significant improvement since day one. Of course, the weather definitely summed up the ups and downs of the day. The rain came down in the middle of the day. It was strange to look up to the sky and see the blue skies followed closely by the ominous rain clouds. I thought it all was good, as most of the rain came before and after lunch, but of course, the good morning was followed by some dark clouds. After a good conference, I went home to catch the Clippers game and it didn't look good. Going down big, the Clippers clawed back into the game, only to lose at the last millisecond. It was that close. The downpours began again. Closing off the night at Spectacular may have been a blessing, as my deflated emotions were uplifted by the positive energy in the gym. It was great to see a community support performer after performer. I loved it. In life, we will face these sunshine and downpours, but if we have a community that cheers on us no matter what, we will be okay. To hear the cheers of the crowd, even if they weren't directly at me, filled me with just what I needed after and exhausting day, but also one with a little disappointment. The ups and downs of life are inevitable, but when we find something that can give us an umbrella when that storm hits, we'll be just fine and ready for when that sunshine appears.
