The Rain
So glad for the pretty weather today after yesterdays rain and storms. I have never been a big fan of the rain. It is wet and gloomy and tends to leave a big muddy mess. I will say that my mom loved the rain. Seems like she said something about it making everything seem so clean. I never could figure that out. She was the type that probably would have danced in the rain and had a blast doing so. I see the rain differently now that my mom is gone. Before I thought it was a necessary evil we had to endure. Yes, I know we need rain. Sometimes it is just very inconvenient. Now? Now when it rains I take a moment and pause and smile and remember that my mom enjoyed a good rain shower. It makes me take the time reflect and try to find a little pleasure in the rain. It gives me pleasure to think that she may be dancing in that very rain shower in a new body that does not hurt. Maybe the rain is cleansing....cleansing for the soul and mind as well as the earth. Love ya, mom. Hope you enjoyed the rains this week.

I feel the same way about rain. It seems to wash all your problems away. Just lift up your face and let it fall on you. As kids we use to play in the rain. We would be camping and it would rain and we'd swimm in the lake while it rained. (no lightning). When the streets would flood we would all go out and play in it. Scary now but fun then. Of course mom was at work when we did it. Rain seems to clear up all the bad stuff in the air. I love to listen to it at night (if it isn't a storm)good for sleeping, reading, and so much more. Take a little time and take your kids outside and let them look up as it falls on them, run in circles, screem and jump in the puddles. Miss all this and miss my sister.
