Waking to the sound of rain is the perfect start of any day. Many disagree with me, even those that spend most of their time indoors. I love the rain no matter my plans and more especially if I am to be outdoors. An additional challenge to overcome is not automatic ruination of the day.
I have a plaque on a file drawer in my office. It says, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain." It greeted me this morning as a reminder and a promise.
I'm not going to wait for anyone to accept, deny or break me. I will make it though the storm of the hour, day or week by learning and taking the problem in stride like a dance. I love learning so why would I wait for a rescue, a directive or a confrontation. None of those are my game. I'm straightforward, insistent and real. Dancing is celebratory and I took every step with determination and pride today. I could hear music get louder as the solution materialized and the crescendo was the smile on my face of a job well done.
Did it really rain today?
No, but there was a storm. And, I danced.
I danced with my husband, son, co-workers and friends. I lived the day to what I could make it, soaked with raindrops, stumbling over my feet and moving to the beat of my own music. Yes, that's what life is suppose to be every day.
