This Wednesday, we will usher in a new season...SPRING! The weather always proves to be unpredictable in CLE but I love this quote for Monday Meditation. Spring will finally pop its head here shortly and soon we will be trading snow squalls for thunderstorms and digging out weeds from the garden rather than digging out of snow. But we all know CLE weather is just as tempermental as the lake effect in our lives. Where will the storm hit, here, there, when, how long, how hard, how much? And on and on. It's easy to be sucked into impending storms or potential gloomy days. Well I say...

The trials and tribulations in life are inevitable and will often catch us off guard; so how do we prepare? How do we shake the winter blues and renew our hope for spring? We store up the sunshine! Focus and invest in the people and events and love in life that brighten up the seasons of your life. The real question is, when you reflect, will you be counting your rainbows or your thunderstorms?
Will you let the figurative rain of life wash away your good days? Or will you store up some sunshine to cherish on the gray days?

So, this post made me think of a Sugarland song called "April Showers." You should check out the lyrics...I think you'd like it!
ReplyDeleteI love that, count your rainbows. It's so simple. I think, unfortunately, my thunderstorms have been more memorable than my rainbows. Also- when I have a rainbow, I'm not sure I always recognize it. It's refreshing to reflect on the thunderstorms I thought would never pass and yet they always do!
ReplyDeleteI'm just so ready for spring right now. So ready. I've never handles winter well, falling victim to seasonal depression even though I know I can combat it with exercise and eating right. Come one good weather, big bucks, no whammies.
I will tell you that living up here so far from friends and family has really made me shift perspective's. The first year up here was so rough. We felt so alone and working from home only made things so much harder. By focusing on our perspective though, we realized we were blessed to have gotten Cleveland and now love the city! I do feel SO much better when the beginning sings of spring pop up though. I can't WAIT to start running outside again and look forward to all the upcoming seasons have to offer, especially within activities we can do with Drew!
