R.A.I.N.

Tonight it was pouring rain.
I went to bed and was all set to listen to the rain.
Jeron came in and said "Why don't you go out and play in the rain?"
He knows I love the rain.
Back in High school I would opt to walk home on rainy days.
Jeron left the bedroom and I thought about what he suggested.
Within seconds I was getting re-dressed and headed outside with my camera.
Considering I needed a P.O.T.D. I realized this was my chance.  
I loved it.
I splashed in puddles.
I ran in the pouring down rain.
I danced a little. ( I put Elanie to shame.)
I SMILED!  Really Smiled...all by myself
When I came back in I checked out the photos that I took on automatic.
This picture is the perfect picture to sum up how I have been feeling lately. 

So much of me is fading away.
I feel like I am bending, pulling, pushing, tossing, turning...
but still so much of me is fading away.

I pull to get me back
yet I push to find what else I want
letting go and moving on

I see myself in the young girl I use to be
yet I want so much more for the woman I am becoming.
Tossing and turning to keep it all

A true reflection of me...
Thank you Jeron for reminding me to be me.

Love this post! Love that you danced in the rain and wish with all my heart that I was there to dance with you. You know I would. I love you little lady. Oh how I miss you. I truly am grateful that our paths crossed so many many years ago, and that I still find you so enjoyable and able to lift my spirits. Stay true girl, I love you much!
