"There is some sun, let us chase it!"--Sense and Sensibility

Well, today reminding me so much of scene from a favorite childhood film, "Sense and Sensibility".  In this particular scene, To try and escape whatever gloom is lurking from her father's recent death, Marianne takes a dash for the hills with her younger sister. When a storm approaches sans run, they spot a hole of sunshine in the clouds that give them a glimmer of hope, hence, "there is some sun, let us chase it!". That glimmer of hope is all lost as Marianne stumbles and twists her ankle, unable to "catch the sun". The happy ending that Hollywood always promises us was the sun catching Marianne in the form of a man. Not just any man; a handsome, strong, dashing man, who sweeps her off her feet and carries her to safety.
Without delving into too much detail about my day, let's just say the scene from "Sense and Sensibility" was a grand metaphor to the day I had.
