Beautiful Rainy Days

I sit here today looking out my office window at a very picturesque scene of a church, lush trees and mountains which are obscured by lazy low hanging clouds.

 

 As I sit here taking in this scene of a drizzly, overcast day and I remember how as a young child I use to adore these days. I loved these days as a child because there was no expectation that I should be outside playing. These were days when I could hole away in my room, listen to the radio and dive into a good book or play board games with friends. It was this type of day where dreams were hatched and worlds were created.  

I am one who is rarely concerned with the weather other than to know how to dress for the day. I don’t let rain dampen my day. I remember living in England for three years where it didn’t take long to figure out you could not plan around the weather. You simply planned what you were going to do and made adjustments because of the weather as needed.

Life in general is much like this isn’t it? We can’t afford to wait for the fair weather days of life to do all the things we need/want to do. We must plan and make adjustments as we go. We never know when a storm may hit our life. We can never truly predict how are day will go. Life is full of surprises that have the ability to throw us off track. The key is to understand that is how life is, there are very few absolutes in a given day and we must be able to roll with the punches as my mother used to tell me.

Life is wonderful, be it a sunny day or a day with clouds in it. There is joy to found in all facets of our life, if we are aware enough to notice.

Live your life full of love and you will love your life no matter what may come your way!
