7th day out of 365

Rain makes something beautiful. . . 
Not only does it refresh this planet we live on
and make it bearable to breath in Utah's smog. 
Rain, gives off that clean smell, like a just done laundry basket or the scent of a new born baby. 
Rain, makes the ground all wet, so even as a nineteen year old you can splash in the huge puddles and jump around and get your shoes, socks, and anything below your ankle's wet. Feeling like a five year old is usually the best medicine when the stress of adulthood come about. 


Rain is simply lovely. 






Sunshine. . .
What is it about the little heat rays that kiss your skin and leave a dark mark. How some of us on rather hot days, can crack an egg and make yourself an omelet on the pavement ( I don't understand why people would do that, let alone eat it, but oh well) The sun, with it's burst of heat, kiss my cheek and then shows me the sun rays. 




What do you get, when you put those two things together? You will get those summer Indian rains, but the thing I found joy in today was . . . 


A Rainbow. . . 
to be frank, it was four rainbows. 
The little boy I nanny and I were walking in the rain, watching how hints of sun rays were trying to peer over the clouds. A flash of warm heat surrounded us, as raindrops were still plopping on our heads. Then we saw a rainbow. Colorful and beautiful. Then a second one appeared. Then a third. Then as we turned to the next street in a different direction was the fourth rainbow. A reminder, that two great elements of this Earth, make something beautiful and a special event to witness. 






I hope you all find a rainbow today, or a least one joy today. 




Love
