Rainy Days and Rainy Nights and Rainy Weekends too!

Here's a bit of feel good music to help you weather your next storm.

I love the rain, I love the renewal of everything after the rain, the cleansing properties of it, the feelings of wanting to cozy up with that favorite new book, a great chick flick, a warm cup of something or a nice glass of wine....maybe even a cozy partner and a warm and comforting blanket.

So many people get so bummed out when the weather turns to be wet and cool and well for some it seems to be downright depressing. The rainy days are certainly the ones that you choose to be more reflective on your sorrows and saddness but they are also a great time to pause and reflect and gather your thoughts.

Some of my favorite memories are in the rain, aren't your's too?

Did you ever play in the puddles as a child?

Have you ever sat under a covered porch watching a lightening storm every so often inching your way back closer to the door as the winds shift and you attempt to stay dry?

Have you danced in the rain, have you jumped in those puddles without a single thought of "I can't get wet"?

You should, why haven't you, don't you dry?

What are you waiting for?



There's nothing like sitting, quietly with your thoughts and listening to nothing but the patter of the rain as it hits the roof or the porch or the car roof or the sidewalk or your window, whereever you are and letting your mind wander to that happy place that we so often ignore.

Often times we are all so busy with life that pausing for that moment just doesn't seem to happen, except for when we crawl into bed and decide to call it the end of the day but if you're anything like me that's quickly followed by immediate sleep...there is no time for getting lost in thought, my head hits the pillow and I completely shut down. Or, maybe you're not like me and instead you lay there, thinking about the day and all that you didn't get done or compiling your list for tomorrow, again, not necessarily reflecting and just being but working yourself up for a long night of no sleep!

My point is, take this rain as a blessing, we need the water, we need the renewal, we need the cleansing effects but also do yourself a favor and

stop, listen and just be.

Let the cleansing effects of it wash over your soul and slip yourself into that happy place if only for a moment, your soul will certainly thank you for it.
