Are the windows of your life open to the world? Are your windows clean and bright letting the sunshine sparkle into your life? If your windows are dull and dirty that’s the way the world looks at your life.

Once there was a old man who lived alone. His home was small with many windows with views to the outside world. The old man was not one to clean his home often. This being one of the reason he did not have many visitors.

His only companion was his dog name Lucky. Now Lucky was old like his master not requiring much sunshine and exercise. In their younger years the old man and Lucky would go out into the yard and enjoy the day.

The old man let his windows become dull and dirty. This became his view of the world. The years passed and this was his outlook on life. One day the old man heard the the sounds of the outside world again. He tried to look out the window but could not see clearly through.

The old man decided to clean to get a better view. To his surprise little by little as he cleaned the glass he could see the outside world again. The clean window let in the sunshine again. The old man remembered the feeling of being young again and ventured outside once again.

The morale of the story don’t let the windows of your life become dirty shutting out your view of the world.
