silver liningi've been bitching about the impending storm non-stop since i first found out about it last night. i'm just another spoiled little brat scared of thunder and bothered by power outtages. it was the perfect way to ruin a perfect day yesterday. and come on, this isn't going to do our always-storm-stricken nation any good any more. haha. anyway, i got to talking to my friend online and she really put things in perspective for me. she told me to visualize a rain-filled day without the blackouts. sitting in the den, eating popcorn, smiling at the rain and thinking, "yeah, she was right!" she told me that it WILL rain hard, but that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.
the more we fight against things that we don't want, the more they will come. but the more we fight for things that we do want, the more they will come too. at that point, i had been performing my anti-rain dance for a couple of hours already and upon being enlightened by that, i stopped my ridiculous actions and decided to go with it. fcuk it. i still don't want it to rain rhinos and elephants, but it won't be the end of the world. [though i seriously, seriously think all these super storms are indicators of it... your thoughts?]
with all of that in mind, i prayed last night. i prayed a lot. i prayed for the rain. i prayed for the storm. i prayed that the rain and the storm would happen but that it wouldn't cause much "chagrin" to all of us land-dwellers. i prayed for a spectacular, fun-filled long weekend. rain or no rain. as it was intended to be. and i thanked God for seeing me through whenever i bitch about the stupidest things.
"let the rain fall, i don't care.."
