The mountains were out today!

My friend, Melinda, came to visit me last week for almost six days. The entire time she was in Seattle, the mountains were continuously hidden behind layers of clouds. Everyday, like most days, I looked to see if they were there.

One day when we visited Sunset Hill, one my favorite spots in Seattle, we could barely see a sillouhette of the moutains behind the clouds. If we weren't looking for it we would not have noticed. The mountains are becoming a reminder to me about life. I can't always see the beauty very clearly because it is hidden by the clouds, but each day I need to keep looking for it.

Well, guess what? Today...the mountains were there, or rather I could see that they were there! In fact, it was one of the most beautiful views of the mountains ever. Mt. Rainier was out too! My little self smiled real big and all the way home I couldn't stop turning around to see that they were still there!
