I really don't mind the rain. Don't throw anything at me! I know a lot of you have had a horrible time with rain and storms. I'm not talking about storming, blustery, damaging rain (although I do love a good storm ONCE IN A WHILE). And I know a lot of you actually get depressed if you don't see the sun. But not me.
Today it has rained....allllll day. Just a nice rain (not too hard, but not sprinkling) with no wind. (Now there's something I hate...the wind.) Just a steady rain and straight down. And I loved it. I always feel cozy when it's a rainy day. It is somehow comforting to me. And I can't believe how green everything is!! (My fav color) Don't get me wrong, I like a nice sunny day, blue skies, birds singing, etc., as much as the next guy. But I actually find the sun is just too darn intense anymore and too much of it gets me craving the rain and clouds.
Besides, birdies need baths. :D

I came across this today and found it kind of sad and really inspiring at the same moment.

Hope you enjoy it.

 

After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

And presents aren't promises

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and eyes open with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrows ground is too uncertain, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight,

And after awhile you learn that even sunshine burns If you get too much,

So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,

Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers,

And you learn that you really can endure,

That you really are strong and you really do have worth,

And you learn and learn

With every good-bye you learn.
