Rainy Days.

Rainy Days are good for the soul... hmmm, we are full on in the middle of rainy season here in Vietnam, and it's kind of awesome, and kinda crazy, flash floods, mud, being utterly soaked to the bone. I am not complaining I have a nice dry apartment, but what I've been noticing is there are people who do not have dry places to live... whose feet have been wet for the past 2 months. People who wade through puddles day in and day out. My neighbour, the security guard in the field across from our apartment, is one of those people. I see him out wading in knee deep puddles to feed his ducks, to clean his clothes, to get from his cooking tent to his sleeping tent- He amazes me. I am amazed at the people here...

So rainy days are good for the soul because they remind us that without rain -there are no rainbows, they remind us that rain brings life, that water is life, because they are cleansing to both the body and the soul. Plus, rainy days are the perfect day to curl up with a good book and a cup of coffee, which I will be doing shortly.

Cheers to rainy days, looking around and seeing others... and be grateful in our own lives.

Share the love,
