There is a saying that goes something like this: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.
As I was driving this morning on this rainy day, that thought came to my mind. We all have "storms" in our lives, but we have to know and realize that the storm WILL eventually pass and the sun will shine again. A rainbow might even come out of the storm. I have faced so many storms lately and I know will continue to do so. But if I can learn to dance in the rain I think I will be better equipped to handle whatever life will throw at me.
I went and took a dance class this morning. I can't even tell you how good I feel when I do. I am trying to get back into shape...and its hard when time is so limited. But when I dance, I feel free. I feel at home. I am trying to get a new attitude about my dancing. A far less judgemental attitude. Which is incredibly hard for me because I am my worst critic. I started being tough on myself today and comparing myself to others. I had to take a step back and tell myself "I am good enough". I know I am not a perfect dancer. But I just want to be happy and content with being ME. :)
So today...was a good day. Rain + Dancing = learning to dance in the rain :)
The sun will shine again :)
