Affirmations for a Rainy Day
by Lady of the Shadows
Oftentimes, rainy days are dreaded like the common cold.
They can bring on feelings of sadness, depression, exhaustion,
and leave us unmotivated, lazy, or even defeated...
Instead of surrending to such moods,
I will listen to the pounding of the rain on the roof,
on the sidewalk, outside, with a smile
because it is mother nature playing music for me,
for the thirsty Earth, for the animals...
a symphony of blended notes, louder, softer,
and I will sing with her.
I will hum along.
I will be her chorus.
I will dance with joy in her puddles,
enjoying the concert
because I am lucky for the rain.
I am lucky I can hear its sweet melody.
I am lucky I can dance to its rhythm.
I am lucky to have water to drink.
I am lucky to go to sleep
listening to its lullaby,
feeling inner peace.
I am not sad;
I am comforted when it rains.
