Rain

Guess my randomness hasn’t been random enough for the blog, lol. I know I’m still taking baby steps as far as blogging is concerned but i will try to do better. It rained in Johannesburg today and all I could tell whoever cared to ask was how crappy the weather was on this side of the globe until somebody I spoke to, much later in the day, pointed out how grateful we should be for the rain and that it has come. At that moment i realised how ungrateful I must have sounded immersed in my own selfishness instead of seeing the silver lining in this “crappy” weather as I called it. Well in all fairness it is hard walking to work in the rain and wishing you had a car or a bigger umbrella at the very least. Never mind the splashing of cars from cars passing by.

The consequences of not getting rain, however, are much worse than anything I have mentioned above and I have experienced first hand the consequences thereof at some point in my life. This just made me look back at all the “raining” I have complained about in my life and all the good things I have not appreciated through the different experiences I went through. So I might not do it overnight but I hope to start seeing the world with new eyes. To dance in the rain as some call it and embrace life with its ups and downs and to remember that Yes! There is a silver lining to every cloud.
