Sky

Going around under an umbrella interferes with one's looking up at the sky.

~ Jerzy Kosinski

I like this. 

We can't ever completely shield ourselves from trouble. Ultimately, we shouldn't try to. Instead we should realize that problems help us appreciate good times. Challenges provide catalysts for creating change. The good and the bad all come together. Perhaps in the end there is very little good or bad, but simply things that are. We are the ones who choose to put labels on those things.

Plus, my umbrella has a picture of the sky inside it, so I can see the sky even when it's raining. How about that, Jerzy Kosinski.  Didn't think of that, did you?
