A Gift From the Sky
Today it rained...just the tiniest bit. I was busy cleaning the house and happened to be standing right next to an open window. I heard the quiet 'pitter patter' of the raindrops hitting the tin roof of our shed close by. I stopped and listened, put my nose to the window and took a deep breath. Nothing else smells like rain, and especially the first rain of the season. It only lasted for less than 3 minutes or so, and I just stood there quiet, really listening. In those moments, the birds silenced their singing, all the neighborhood dogs stopped their barking and the universe took notice of these small drops of clear water. I personify rain...when it pours, it feels like the clouds are purging themselves of overdue heaviness. But today, it was a serene peaceful moment, that was so powerful, all living things honored its arrival. And that peaceful feeling washed over me and soothed my yearning soul.
Happy Birthday Sweet Sister of Mine ~ You are loved :)

I'm having such mixed feelings this year about the onset of the cold weather. Normally I love it, but this is my first time in quite some time living alone after ending my marriage so its going to be super important to be creative and consistent in keeping my home full of warmth and coziness and soft candlelight, which is always so healing! Just these last two days it has gotten much colder! How quickly nature changes her coats!
i so love the smell of rain...especially warm summer rain. there really is nothing else which could compare.
i love that everything stops and paid tribute to the first drops.
sadly though, we have had our fair share of rain over here already!
