Raining today

Rain - a method God created to cleanse the air of pollutants and dirt,; a way God feeds and renews the earth; something people can dance in for fun.
Today it is raining and the lovely colored leaves are being pulled to the earth creating a composting blanket. The rain is reducing the pollen count and washing some of the dust out of the air from the harvet of beans and corn. The air is heavy and hard to breathe right now.
Does this sound like Eeyore or what?! So often we let our enviornment and/or circumstances weigh us down flat. We let the external squash the flame of life, -love, hope, joy and peace - within us until no one on the outside can see it and we have to consciously seek it within ourselves. Each day is a gift and we can choose to celebrate no matter what is going out around us. We can be the spark of hope in times of terror. We can choose to affirm what is good. This is part of the free gift of choice given to us by our creator. Use your gifts wisely.
