"Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good"
Ahhhh....Eddy Rabbit. I have always loved that song. Along with that song I have always loved a rainy, stormy night. It took me a while to get to that place. I recall being scared of storms when I was a kid. My Mom would try to reassure me about the thunder by explaining it was God moving furniture. I would ask her to tell Him to stop. I would also wonder, if He was the all and powerful God, why couldn't he use his powers to move his furniture more efficiently?
Being older, there is nothing more I love than sleeping to it storming outside. I adore and crave those Sunday's when it is storming and I can cuddle up on the couch and take it all in while wrapped in a blanket. I absolutely love the ocean, rivers, lakes, waterfalls. I am one of those positive ion people and it energizes and relaxes me.
One of the most impressive storms I have ever experienced was when I was hiking with a friend out west. We hit storms a couple of times, and thankfully were kept safe during their raging lighting and practically flash flood downpours. Yet, the entire time I was soaking it in.
What energizes you? What do you crave? What brings you to life? Have you ever taken a moment when it hits you to step back and just enjoy it? If not, then I request to you to slow down. In this rat race we call life, we need to embellish ourselves and enjoy those moments in life. Because at the end of the day we deserve it. There is more to life than work. Take it from me, a workaholic. Learn from my painful life lessons of realizing that there is more to life than work, and we ALL deserve to take a break, and enjoy life's simple pleasures. Whether a sunset, sunrise or a storm filled with deep baritone thunder and flashes of lightning.
