"She danced through the air in a ballad with the warm and gentle breeze. She spread her wings and she flew through sunshine. She spread her wings and she flew through rain. She flew over water, then over land again, but she did not search for peace. All the while it had been in her heart, she just had to listen for it."

Bring on the rain

Rain, rain oh HOW you made my day! I can’t tell you enough how much I love little surprises of nature. … One of my most treasured ‘passer of time’ moments on rainy weekend days is lying in bed snuggled all close to my fiancé w/ our 4 non-human children. Just the 6 of us, no noise other than the music of the rain drops as they dance down in frantic motion from the gloomy sky above. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to enjoy days as such in quite awhile because it seems to only rain while I am work! So instead of the rain being an enjoyable heaven sent gift it’s more of a torturous reminder of where I would rather be, only to make my day drag on and on and on and on and on and on and on (you know the feeling?) Well to my surprise today, the nature God’s knew I was not in the mood to be imprisoned within the white walls of my office while the rain taunted my sanity! So in all their power and in all their might they struck out the lights, they struck out the computers and all possibility of being able to accomplish any form of work at not only my office but also my fiancé’s! (Just a slight hint from nature that a lunch date was in order) The fiancé works just a hop, skip & a jump away from me so within minutes I saw his car pull into our drive, it was like a chariot in waiting and inside, my prince!!! It felt a bit magical as I swiftly pranced through rain to his car, having just abandoned all responsibilities of work and off to enjoy an unexpected but much welcomed early lunch for two. So, thank you rain! Thank you nature God’s and your power outage might! Thank you fiancé for a lovely hour spent with you over a bowl of nice warm soup!

Picture I took as the clouds finally parted.
