There is a saying along the lines of, “Into every life, a little rain must fall.” The problem with this saying is that it is negative. There is so much good that comes from rain. Rebirth. Renewal. Not just for the earth, the plants and animals. Rainy days can be a time for rebirth and…
There will be those days. Those days when you just feel blah. When everything seems muted, lacking in the excitement or joy that usually comes from doing those things you love to do. Tired. Ho-hum.
