thought i would share a picture taken the first day in cancun. it had just rained...not a normal oregon rainy day rain either...more like a tropical storm, over in 15 minutes kind of rain...the kind of rain that washed the spider out...(don't be shy---sing along)
well even if you didn't partake in the sing along...everyone knows...the sun eventually came out and dried up all the rain...
the reward of accepting a few drops or a lot of drops is breathtaking ...
in that moment, i understood in an entirely different environment that rain can bring a fresh start...it washes away some of the yuck of our days--the water seemed brighter and the green palms re-energized.
it sounds silly but it felt like cancun had taken a bath...and given how many spring breakers had come and gone before...i welcomed the bath!
no one goes to mexico for the rain, but one of my favorite quotes goes..."don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines"-Satchel Paige...so true!!!
the goal is to be grateful for it all!!! to learn from it...to accept that some things go as planned, some do not...and while we don't have control over much, we do have control over the main ingredient...ourselves. so take a picture the next time it rains (don't forget to protect your camera-ha!)...i'm sure come summer, we will all be wishing for at least one day of rain to wash the spider (and heat) out....
