It was raining last night. It was real odd because there was nothing but lightning and thunder for the first hour or so and then I heard the tree line start to make noise like it was blowing in the wind for about 3 minutes, but it was calm where i was standing on my back deck and then it hit me. I was holding an umbrella and it almost turned inside out on my from the blast of wind. Was kinda cool actually. But then it just stormed. I did take some slow exposure pics of the lightning but there were not many bolts, just mostly flashes in the clouds. I did get a few bolts tho,  I was experimenting in camera settings for the conditions and so they are somewhat grainy but it was still fun for me.

It is raining where i am at and here is an idea for a rainy day. Stop thinking that it is hindering you for outdoor activities. Take a minute and stand in it. Let it drop on your face, breathe in the smell from it. Take in the moist air. Think of it cleaning you and washing away all your cares unlike any shower can. It is fresh and cold. it is crisp and has a natural feeling.

I thank a friend of mine for this. She seems to be going through a lot and we all can relate. But we just need to take tht minute. and if you do not feel some spiratual cleansing form it then you either need to do it longer or you need to take the entire day for healing activities.

But this was just my moment of peace before i have to attack my day's activities.

I thought i would share
