dancing in the rain

Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

I read this quote today. I have no idea who said it (if you know, please let me know) but I know that I love it. It’s pretty profound.

Those of you who know me know that storms and I do not mix. Oh I could tell many storm stories some of which scared the crap out of me at the time but sure do make for great entertainment now. When they come, especially those out of control, crazy thunderstorms, I pray for them to pass. Will them to pass. Beg for protection until they pass. I don’t particularly care for the storms of life either (not that anyone really loves them). My response to life’s storms is pretty much the same as those that are weather related. But life is not about waiting for them to pass.

Those of you who know me also know that being wet and having wet hair (aside from those moments where being wet is warranted, ie at the beach, in a pool etc) and I do not mix. I have this crazy, curly, frizzy head of hair. And that’s on sunny days where there is 0% humidity and absolutely no wind. Get that head of hair wet and watch out. It’s my very own chia-pet. When it’s raining, I use an umbrella, I don’t splash in puddles and I certainly don’t dance in the rain. But life is about dancing in the rain.

It is going to rain. It is going to storm. It is going to do both in weather and in life. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Go ahead and dance in the rain; both literally and figuratively. A certain freedom just might be found in the rain, in the healing water.

So if I get the choice to wait for the storm to pass or dance…..I hope I dance.
