Walking in the Rain

We just finished dinner, got the kitchen cleaned up and I was getting ready to sit down with the family to watch deal or no deal together. I had a few minutes, so I decided to take some mail up to the mailbox at the top of the street. When I went outside I noticed that it was drizzling, and I almost turned around and came back inside, but then I thought, why??

Our stained driveway is very slick in the rain, (well the polished diamonds are anyway) and that was the second thing that almost sent me back inside the warm, dry, comfortable home. But I decided to intend that I wouldn't slip and that I really needed this walk.

As I walked up the hill to the mailbox, the drizzle wasn't really bad, it actually felt nice. Then I put the mail in the box and turned around to come home and the drizzle picked up a bit, it could even be considered rain. I noticed that I put my head down, hunched my shoulders and felt very tense. Why??? I asked myself. So I lifted my head up, put my shoulders back and enjoyed the rain in my face. It made me consider of all the times I walk around with my head down, my shoulders hunched, feeling tense; what else am I missing out on?

So, right now today I am making an intention to walk around this beautiful place I get to live with my head up, my shoulders back and not feeling tense at all. Life is to beautiful to miss the rain in your face or anything else for that matter.

Have fun playing in the rain!
