Today I decided to take a walk during my lunch break. As I stepped outside I saw the sky was grey, but it felt warm and pleasant so I put the thought of possible rain out of my mind. Half way through my journey I felt a drop then another, so now I'm faced with a decision! Should I turn back around or should I go forward? I decided to continue my walk and go pick up lunch. Picked up lunch walked back out side the drops were falling a little harder and faster now so I pick up my pace. Half way back to work still walking in this rain there was a peace and calm that came over me. I slowed my pace and enjoyed the sound and the smell of this rain. It wasn't pouring it was just enough rain to quiet things down outside. About 1 hour after my lunch break the sun had come out. The thought came to me of rain and how people look at rain and storms as a bad thing. Just like everything else in this life they serve a purpose. The rain may make you feel uncomfortable, may make you want to run or not even go outside. After the rain things are growing things look and smell cleaner. Just think if we had the same positive outlook when we went through the storms of our lives and yes some may be rough! But we can see the good that they have produced. The growth that has taken place the past that has washed away. So next time you have a storm look for the sun pricing through the clouds look for the new season the knew buds that are growing. I'm sure it will put a smile on your face. Enjoy the Rain ! !

I never thought the the insecurity and the feeling of never fitting in would creep up on me in my adult life. You see things in life that are meant to bring you down will tap on you discreetly almost subliminally. They continue to hit you in the same spot over and over again, just like a construction worker who needs to break down a wall. The construction worker will target the weakest point to gain access, and begin there demolition focused on that point. So here I am empty, like a car that has run out of gas (which ironically enough recently happened too me lol ugh ). If you have ever ran out of gas you know that the vehicle is at its low point and is unable to function. It has pulled o...
