Rain, Rhubarb and Renewal

This morning I woke up with the blahs, overwhelmed with work, worn down with unending to do’s and a lack luster attitude. In a single instant, in the dark and quiet morning hour, with my bleak outlook, I heard the rain drops falling gently, lightly and my outlook changed. I ran to the door, turned on my outside light and watched the drops fall and my thoughts cleared, I am inspired, motivated and delighted with today. I popped an English muffin in the toaster, took out some of dad’s homemade rhubarb jam and savored the flavor, the moment and the cozy feeling of calm.  The mind’s power to overcome is only trumped by nature in her mighty and in her gentle ways to embrace, to awaken or to move us into action.  Nature has been hard on the Philippines and yet so many are inspired to move into action to help them rebuild and renew. Be mindful and allow mother and human nature to heal.
