Rock in the Rain

Refreshed by the rain

This morning I awakened to the beautiful sound of rain outside.

I was so ready to be refreshed by the rain – I love it!

I remember as a young child wanting to play in the rain, when others would hide indoors.

I was the little girl who chaotically jumped in and out of the puddles, singing and dancing to my heart’s content.

Splish, splosh, splashit was so much fun!

I am super excited to go out a walk today in the rain – I find it truly envigorating.

I do enjoy the sunshine too, but I’m not a fan of it whilst living in London City Centre.

On a hot summer’s day here in London, it can get very humid, with stuffy vehicle polluted air, smelly outdoor bins and stenching drains. Sorry, not my dream environment.

That’s why I welcome the pretty rain here today.  It cools the air, clears away city pollution and washes the bins and drains. A total big city cleanse!

I’ve got my huge umbrella on standby and I’m getting ready to rock in the rain!

In the past, when I was training for marathons, I would get crazy excited about running in the torrential rain, frosty mornings, high winds and even snow blizzards. When it was sunny, I never looked forward to running.

I guess you could say I’m a true Scottish lass through in through – welcoming four seasons in one day!

No matter the weather, be grateful for your beautiful presence in this day. For come rain or shine, life is for abundantly living and dreams are waiting to be achieved.

It’s your life – GO GET IT!

Icy Puddles

I was out walking the other day and took the photo below, I just thought the scenery around me was stunning. Beautiful Bonny Scotland, on a winter’s day.

Icy Puddles

Icy puddles,
Reflecting on me.
Frosty edges,
Pure beauty.
Landscape wonders,
Spellbound eyes,
A magical mirror,
Full of surprise.
