A SUNNY SIDE UP DAY

“Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight.” - Gordon B. Hinckley

I found myself here in India during wintertime. To borrow from a familiar song, “Baby, it’s cold outside!” And yet, what I’ve noticed is how deeply I celebrate the mornings when I awaken to sunshine. I call them my “sunny-side-up” days. Those are the days when hope feels warmer, when brightness lifts the heart, and when there is an unmistakable desire to step outside and greet the world. As we drove to an appointment today, I commented to my friend about how astonishingly beautiful the blue sky was. New Delhi has experienced many days of heavy pollution lately—days when the sun hides behind a veil and feels almost unreachable. But today was different. Today was radiant. It felt as though the angels themselves had gently cleared the sky so I could fully see and savor its beauty before my departure. I only have a couple of days left in this land that has so completely won my heart. My host, Nivritti, and her mom, Neelu, have lovingly turned even the darkest, coldest days into moments of warmth and joy. And I am reminded again: it is always my job—our job—to focus on the joys rather than the overcast skies.

Life mirrors this perfectly. Some days shine brilliantly. Others are muted and gray. And then there are those in-between days—often overlooked—that carry their own quiet sparkle, if we choose to look closely. Every minute of every day, we are making decisions, and what we focus on expands. I choose for this chapter of my life to be one of the most memorable. I choose to focus on love. On gratitude. On the deep soul-calling that brought me to this land and has now woven India into the very fabric of my being.

Dear Angels, how do we stop seeking the storms and learn to fully enjoy the sunlight—especially when life feels heavy or uncertain?

Dear Ones, storms are not meant to be chased, nor feared. They come and go as teachers, not as destinations. When you seek the storm, you unknowingly tether your energy to struggle, replaying lessons that have already been learned. The sunlight, however, is always present—even when clouds appear to obscure it. Joy is not dependent on perfect conditions. It is a state of awareness. When you choose to notice beauty, kindness, breath, or a single moment of peace, you align with the warmth of your own divine nature. This alignment lifts the veil and allows the light to reach you more fully.

Do not dismiss the gray days. They soften you. They deepen compassion. But do not live there. Let them pass through, just as clouds pass across the sky. Each time you turn your attention toward gratitude, love, or wonder, you invite the sun to shine more clearly within you. You are creators in every moment. Focus not on what dims your spirit, but on what nourishes it. In doing so, you transform ordinary days into sacred ones—and your life becomes a reflection of the light you choose to see.

Angels Whisper: Beloved, the sun has never abandoned you. Lift your gaze, soften your heart, and you will feel its warmth—even on the coldest day.

Today, I promise to have the best sunny-side-up day possible!
