The blizzard did not last forever. When it was over, the sky was crystal clear and the sun rose to celebrate a new day.I originally started this post a year ago after several winter snow storms, including a blizzard. When the season was over, we had 36" of snow.
What promoted the title of the posting AND interrupted my completing it, were the stormy conditions at work. We were bracing ourselves for the winds of change while at the same time leaning forward without moving ahead. At the end of the storm there was a deafening silence as we watched our friends fall and walk off into an unknown world. Those left behind stood in a swirl of emotions: the joy of relief and the guilt of survival. Those who left: were shocked and angered.
Unlike the snows left behind after a storm, The feelings that come from being "fired" don't melt away quickly when the sun shines. But the sun does shine and eventually there is a melting but more importantly there IS light after the storm. And it can be filled with joy if one just opens one's eyes and breathes deeply.
