That’s a beautiful thought – even though one day I will set the Sun will keep shining.
Keep shining yourself 🙂

I wish I had the kind of windows that could fling open, but at least I’ve opened the ones I have; they slide, as does my soul to the sun and the light.

I love that thought. The Sun shines, and we might as well shine with it. Take your chances, because sometimes that chance might not be there tomorrow. We all should shine and share our light, just like the Sun 🌞😊

Thank you so much dear Mabel. This is a perfect reflection on this quote and it’s meaning. So sorry for the delay in coming back to you with this reply, my work has been crazy busy. I love your expression: “we all should shine and share our light just like the sun” I will hold this in my heart throughout my busy week. Big hugs to you
