Rain

There are many ways to describe the rain. Refreshing as it is, it washes away the dust and adds a little shine to everything. I love the relaxing sound of the pitter patter the rain makes as it hits the roof. Too often I have allowed the rain to cause me frustration and aggravation because it was not a part of my plan. It maybe caused us to be inside when I desired to be outside, or it may have messed up my hair. UGH! Be ashamed girl! Sometimes I can be so mindlessly self centered and not even realize it. It is good to stop and feel the rain. Really feel it. It is good to slow down and notice the little things in life. Heart attacks come .... financial troubles come.... without warning.... and our chance to enjoy the little things too often slip by, unnoticed. I want to dare to enjoy life. Especially the little blessings in it. I want to dare to search for the little things as if I were on a scavenger hunt. I always loved the excitement of the hunt. Every day can be that exciting if I only choose to focus on the good things. My focus is my choice... and I choose to focus on the blessings of God. Rain Rain don't go away! :)
