| outside my window |
the rain and this view
my sister came through back surgery fine
that I have family/friends to talk to on the phone
and I can stay inside a warm dry home
It seems to me that boring days are an ordinary part of life...
and I will be Thankful for ordinary!
I actually learned to like rainy days - equipped with rain-gear and walking in a nearby park - sitting down on a bench maybe and just listen to it.
ReplyDeleteIndoors an excuse to cuddle up with a blanket (thin in the summertime) and read a book..
Maybe it's due to a stressing job, that I have started finding some peacefulness in rain?
Yes, boring is bad for the young ones. But for me, I like it because the not boring is so often the bad kind.
ReplyDeleteFinally having sunny days here...I am very thankful for that for sure. Wish I could send you some.
ReplyDeleteSuch good news about your sister.
You enjoy your day and your weekend.
Hugs

Rainy days~makes me grateful for sunny days ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your photo Kim! It's a terrific composition. I like rainy days, and I don't mind ordinary either. Good to hear that sister's surgery went well.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this picture. I can almost hear the rain,but not where I am,it's too cold for that.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Since we too have had tons for rain and dreariness lately, I posted a cute poster on Facebook.. It said: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain"...... Cute, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Rain is good. Over here , many areas are having water shortage. Let's hope the water level at the reservior will rise soon else we will be having very dry Chinese New Year
ReplyDeleteSuch a neat photo; like an abstract painting.
ReplyDeleteThis says comfort to me. You can see just enough of what is outside and know that it's dismal but also know you are safe. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful things to be thankful for. We could certainly do with some of your rain this way. The heat is turning us all into crispy critters...
ReplyDeleteCharming picture of rain drops on the window pane.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good attitude. Think of us in Brisbane, who haven't had any decent rain for more than 3 months. I would just love my windows to look like that.
ReplyDeleteWe had several days of rain and that switched to snow yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI love the sentiments and particularly love the photo. You have evoked a metallic yet soft sensibility through your photo of looking at the dreary rain through a window. Well done.
ReplyDeleteboring is better than bad days.. on that i agree... love the photo. can i save it and try it for a background texture?
ReplyDeleteMuch of life is filled with ordinary days so it does us well to focus on gratitude.
ReplyDeleteWe had several rainy dark days in a row and I think I complained on every single one of them. Thanks for the reminder to stay positive.
ReplyDeleteNice picture, yes, I like the rain in the crystal.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I'm indoors, the rain is fine with me. It's when I have to venture out in it that I get cranky. Thanks for reminding me to be grateful!
ReplyDeletePeace,
Muff
Being thankful for the ordinary is a great philosophy of life. I like your photo.
ReplyDeleteLove your attitude Kim -- we could all benefit from being more thankful for what we have. Wishing you a safe and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteWoW!!! the shot has come out really really well :) ....and i like your last line...people who learn to see the "extra" in ordinary things are the people who are actually happy inside them :)
ReplyDeleteStay blessed and smiling !
We had a dreary, rainy week that ended with snow, but this weekend the sun came out and spirits lifted. It's good to think about those things you can be thankful for to lift you from the ordinary and boring to appreciate God's love and extraordinary blessings!
ReplyDeleteIndeed thankful for ordinary, even though I think our ordinary is a little different to some other :)
