Six months ago I would have given anything for a non-rainy, properly sunny day. The odd thing about living in London is that at first when people ask you… “Does it rain all the time?” You say no, not really- not all the time, but after being there for a bit you begin to believe that it does in fact rain all the time. The truth is something closer to the fact that it may rain at any time and so you must always be prepared for the possibility.
Now, I am back in the United States in Georgia where they are desperate for rain. Anything but another perfectly sunny day… So today and the night before I watched wonderful rain pour from the sky and I was so happy just to see it and hear and feel it.
It continues to amaze me what a shift in perspective can do for one’s outlook on life. A simple change in location and rain changes from something I bemoan to something that I am hopeful for. It makes me wonder how many other things in life I bemoan that are actually, looked at from another perspective, blessings?
