Rain

I was amazed when it rained last week that people were complaining about it. For weeks and months all we've heard not is how much we needed rain and how bad it was that everything was so dry. So Tuesday it poured. And every person who came into the hospital when I was doing my volunteer shift, carried on about how wet it was and how many puddles they had to jump over and how messy their hair was....oy vey! Can we never be happy?

I welcomed the rain. Of course it was messy on the roads and it was creating lots of streams along the curbs and sidewalks, but its only water! It dries off, and it doesn't stain, and we needed it badly. Now the lawns can green up and the flowers will flourish and spring is a little more colorful, thank you very much.  I thought it was refreshing and I don't mind wearing a raincoat with a hood - its no big deal!

I suppose by nature we are never completely happy. When its hot we want air conditioning. When its cold we want heat. When its dry we want rain. When it rains we want sunshine. All I really want is balance.

Ah yes - balance. I should be more into the metaphysical world I suppose. And probably doing yoga. Which I never have. But honestly, I don't mind the rain!
