~:[CH14 - Day 360]:~ Escaping the Storm

We were about ten minutes in the drive and I almost was ready to call it quits and turn around. It was a little sketchy on the road, but just as I thought about it, it cleared up. I escaped. Down south, the clouds loomed, but it stayed mostly dry as we enjoyed the many sites of San Diego while escaping the storm back at home. It was fabulous. At times in life, there is a storm raging, but what we fail to see is the bigger picture. That storm may just be in a portion of our life, while in its entirety, we actually are in good shape. Things may be going well is so many other facets, yet we often can't see that when a storm in raging in one area. Yes, the drive home also had its miserable moments, but I arrived back safely and was glad we got to enjoy the many sites of San Diego. There are so many beautiful places to visit in the area and we were able to hit up quite a few in the six hours or so that we spent in the city. In life, don't miss out on the beautiful things because we are overcome by the storms in life. Deal with these storms as best as possible, but also find those pockets in life where there are things to celebrate and pockets of light that shine through the clouds overhead. As while the storm may unavoidable, it doesn't mean we simply have to sit in it, rather we can find a way to escape the storm and truly appreciate the other areas in our life where the storm has yet to reach.
