Rain in the Sunshine
Monday, September 26, 2011

The sun's out in the perfect spot, just enought light the surroundings with vibrant display of colours in a way that was rarely seen and appreciated. Seems like a start of a good day until a series of thunder starts booming in the background.

To what could have been the start of a great day, now ruined. or is it? Life often has it ups and downs, clear skies and dark clouds, sun and rain. Everyone of us goes through the same process, just from different situations and perspectives.

Often, while things are still good, people begin to worry about the bad that can happen. When the friendship would end, the chance of making another mistake, what others would think of them and all the other endless little concerns under the sun even before a single drop of rain has fallen. Some people worry so much about the end happening that by the time they got past worrying, its the end.

Rain doesnt always mean something bad. Sometimes it just means we have to find alternatives. Having to postpone outdoor trips, change of outing locations or plans, finding a alternate sheltered path to your destination. Life takes often detours, sometimes so we can learn new things, sometimes because we arent ready, sometimes for a special purpose.

The rain can be refreshingly fun, if we bring ourselves to enjoy it.
