It’s raining outside, it’s raining inside
The year is in full swing and so often things are as we like to say, “back to normal.” The excitement of the new year has worn off and the lazy days of vacation are long gone.
Maybe you started a new adventure or are preparing for one. A new year can bring many things to be excited about.
But then there are times when this period might feel like, we are stuck. Like we are just back to the same old same old. Maybe we are in a job or a relationship that we know we need to leave. But these things are always easier said than done.
These are the times I refer to as “raining inside” in my own life. When life feels a little blue, doomy and gloomy and often the time I find myself in tender moments of sadness.
Now before we get too down in the dumps about days like these, I want to remind you and myself, that after the rain, the sun shines and the flowers bloom. These rainy days are temporary and the prelude to something new blossoming in our lives.
But like a rainy day outside, we should slow down, we snuggle up, drink a warm and cozy drink, maybe read a book or watch a movie. We must be gentle with ourselves when it’s raining inside. Let it rain, knowing that something new is about to bloom.
And when you are ready, put on those rain boots and walk in the rain, go where you need to go, take the leap, make a splash and let a new beginning bloom.
Live, love, laugh, let go and light up the world in your own unique way.
With love, always
Ané
