A sudden moment of reflection

While I was hanging out laundry today, I came to realise how much I miss the sun during the past rainy days.. The warmth of the sun rays, the light from the sun suddenly seemed very precious in deed..

It occurred to me that I had been taking for granted that the sun would always be shining brightly in the sky especially in Singapore. Over the radio, I heard listeners calling in to moan about how their plans were ruined, their clothes left undried for days.. I admitted that I was among them as well..

Singapore located near the equator has always been a tropical country with an abundance of sunshine.. Never in my life until now, I have not seen the sun for days!

Well using the sun as an analogy, it seems that our family members are like the sun, always by our side. Hence, we often do not appreciate them enough simply with the excuse they will be there anyway..

But what if they disappear one day like the sun? No one knows what will happen in the future but only the present is known. For once, start to appreciate your love ones around you..

The morning rays shone brightly upon the green moss in the forest.. The animals started to woke up from their hibernation..slowly one by one, the rabbits rubbed their eyes, the monkeys scratched their backs..

"Yeah! Uncle Sun is back from vacation! Once again, we can play and work like the normal! Lets have a party to celebrate the occasion." The animals cheered..

Back in the sky, Uncle Sun was having a conversation with Uncle Rain. "Hey buddy, thanks for covering me for the past few days while I was away for holiday. I never expected that the animals will miss me that much. Suddenly, I felt very loved."

Uncle Rain chuckled," You owed me one big one! You had no idea how badly you were being missed. Without you, nothing could be done properly. Poor me was being scolded by everyone and anyone! Even humans, the superior lot that they thought they were could do nothing without you! Now its my time to go on vacation! See ya around.."

Uncle Sun smiled and decided to shine his very best for Mother Nature to compensate the missing days of warmth and light.. He heard cheers, laughter and joy from everywhere of the forest.. This was truly something he had never thought of, everyone's hero overnight!
