Rainy Days

Rainy Days

Rainy days are special – they let your thoughts collect to be placed in reverie to use when needed to summon better times….. And, they water the grass….

Rainy days can bring smiles when blessings are recalled ….. Friends you have met along the way….. And they water the grass…

Rainy days keep us inside – guiltless … from neglecting outside chores… And they water the grass…

Rainy days provide opportunities to tend to inside things … like fixing that leaky bathroom faucet….. And they water the grass…

Rainy days give us time to bring stamp and coin collections up to date… or read that new best seller picked up at the book store….. And they water the grass…

Rainy days are perfect for taking care of activated hormones… to see my true love blush when I suggest we need to think of another tricycle motor…. We only have one and we set our goal as three….. And they water the grass…

Rainy days come back to bite you….. They strike when you wipe the sweat off your brow as you struggle behind a lawnmower on hot summer days…. Karma personified…… And they water the grass….

This was such a gripping write, my friend. Your refrain reminds me about how we so often forget how important rain is for life... our minds too distracted on how it affects us on a personal level. Maybe I'm just young and naive, but I don't quite understand the tricycle section... care to enlighten? Lol...
