Silver Days
I was talking about the way water looks different on clear days and cloudy days. I told my six year old son (above) that water looked better on nice blue-sky days. He replied that all days are nice days – “the blue days and the silver days.”
“Silver days? What’s a silver day?” I asked.
“A silver day. You know, when it’s raining.”
Isn’t that an interesting perspective? I’ve long known that children are smarter than adults. (And I’m not the first to realise that). The days that we adults commonly label as grey days, gloomy days, cloudy days – a child sees these as silver.
Silver has value. Silver is attractive. We talk about clouds having a silver lining.
So are you having a gray day? Why is it so gray? What’s the flip side? What’s the benefit of the rain that’s falling? Where’s the opportunity in your struggle? What are the things that you can be thankful for?
Here’s hoping that all your days are either blue or silver…
