Day-to-day

April 10, 2018

Oddly the past few weeks there was a tornado warning, it snowed three times, the sun showed four times, there were multiple rainfall showers, and even flowers started growing.  I wake up to birds chirping and this morning during my morning inhale, outside, I noticed the dew on the blades of grass were frosted over. I felt like these weather occurrences are special gifts to me. Reminders that just like the weather, life changes and fluctuates at a moments notice.

Day-to-day I remind myself of all the positives in my life and remind myself that compared to others I am extremely fortunate. I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, clothes on my back, and I come home to a man that loves me. Now on top of those daily reminders, I now include the weather on my list as a reminder that every day is a new day with new occurrences. It is up to me to determine if I accept the new occurrences as a hindrance or as challenges to overcome.

It is odd when it rains or there is an overcast, my mood is happy and carefree. I love the rain. I love the omniscient feeling of a dark cloudy day with a slightly chilly breeze. Something about the small goosebumps and eerie feeling that overwhelms and excites me. It is as if there is something just around the corner looming over the world, something for me to enjoy and figure out. Here is the thing, there is nothing with the weather to investigate, you just take it as it comes and chooses to enjoy it. So with that being said, today on April 10, 2018, I am going to take things day-to-day, choose to enjoy the challenges that come my way, and continue to take my shoes off and jump into the puddles!
