Today, It's Raining

Usually you'd see a headline like the above and think, oh, oh, this is going to be sad and dull. It's that old pathetic fallacy literary thing. Nature in tune with people's feelings. But I feel happy. I feel wonderful. Ecstatic, even. You see, the snow is melting, the ice is crumbling, the street is a river of runoff from our driveways and I can almost smell spring in the air.


Often we escape to Hilton Head, South Carolina, when it's cold and snowy, so much so that we've come to associate a certain wet warmth in the air with HH. We're not quite there today, but it's coming. Yay! I'm really ready for spring and for our next holiday in Hilton Head, a place we've returned to over and over again.
So what can you do on a rainy day? Well we've been to the gym for an hour's workout, we saw our daughter-in-law, and chatted up a few people in between puffing out our 20 minutes on the treadmills and the weight circuit. It's a great way to connect with like-minded people and to be spurred on by their successes.
Hopefully, the sun will come out this afternoon and that will just ice this cake-day for me. In the meantime, I've exercised, I've eaten a healthy breakfast, I'm spending the day with my sweetie and I don't have to cook dinner tonight. (Thanks to friends for an invite out!)
I hope your day is sunny but if not, find the happiness in the rain, like Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain.
