Umbrellas
Did you know there is such a day as National Umbrella Day? It's celebrated in the US each year on February 10.
Why?
I'm not really sure. Perhaps, it's a way to honor one of the world's most convenient inventions.
The umbrella keeps us dry from rain and protects us from the heat of the sun. It can be a fashion accessory. It's a religious symbol in some cultures. Representing the dome of the sky, it's a protective shadow on earth. When carried above a person, it indicates respectability.
Plus, it provides inspiration when you need to get through days when the sky is grey, and everything is… wet.
Consider this.
The mind is like an umbrella. It's most useful when open.
When times are tough, friends and family are your umbrella.
When others try to rain on your dreams, let it be your shelter and comfort.
Take refuge under that canopy and dream on.

And if you’re feeling a little bit low,
If you’re feeling under the weather,
If your sky is darkening with rain clouds...
... Let me be your umbrella.
