I looked out my window and saw the fog shifting across the mountainside, pausing, then moving on. I looked up and saw, on the highest hill, a small strip of sunlight, bright and cheerful, though the rest of the world is clothed in misty gray and covered with rain drops.

I looked out my window and saw birds going about their daily tasks. I heard their cheerful songs of happiness. I saw the wind move the branches of the trees, no longer bare and lifeless, but covered with tiny leaves of vibrant green- the promise of greater beauty to come. I saw the reflection of my world in a puddle of water left by the evening rain, and the grass covered with drops of water like diamonds.

I saw my little bit of my world this morning, from the window, and it made me smile.
