Fireflies and Thunderstorms - This Little Light of Mine

  
     Something I have noticed (and always loved ) about the northern summers is the enormous amount of fireflies that we have. Brings back memories of childhood. What felt like late summer nights running around w/ our pickel jars seeing how many we could catch.

    Something I have been noticing about this little bug though. Whenever I step outside on to my balcony I can see the yard below well lit w/ little blinking bugs. It's not just the warm and/or breezy nights I see them  though,  I also see them even when it is raining and storming out.

     Now given there aren't as many and their light may not be as bright as some but they're still out there and just a shinging away
       Lately in the great city of Indianapolis it has been storming off and on for over a week (and shall continue for another week...or so I hear/read) If were up to me I would go without them.
 
     Well anyways tonight was one of those many nights that it decided to storm (we're talking rain, wind, crashing lightening, and rolling thunder).

     Now I know whoever is reading this is automatically assuming that I'm going to turn this into something spiritual and well... you're right lol.

       I'll just keep it short and simple though. What if like the firefly we continued to let our lights shine even through the storms we go through. Sure there might not be as many fireflies out shining their light during stormy nights as there are on the warmer and dryer summer nights. But if you look around there are still quite a few just the same. Just remember you're never alone in your storms and to always let your light shine. You never know who is watching you.

     Like me with the little fireflies I didn't expect to see any bugs out the first time I noticed it (about a week ago) I thought maybe it was some kinda fluke. But have continued to see them out in the back yard weathering the storm and letting their lights shine.

   Pretty insperational if you ask me
