Dancing with the storm.

It's probably one of the hardest, and yet most rewarding, things you could learn to do - I'm not quite there, but I am teaching myself step by step. I can often become so blinded by sadness that I just don't see anything else in front of me; my loved ones, the ones that love me and my future. I feel like I metaphorically drown myself whenever these feelings envelop me. Recently though I've decided that at these worst times, I'm just going to open myself to the elements of trouble that I often neglect. I'm going to acknowledge them, respect them, and then make the very best of the situation that I'm in. When you teach yourself to dance in amongst your rain it is so incredibly liberating. I feel so free and so at ease with life. Inevitably though, some rain storms will bring hail, thunder and lightening with them and these will test you, everything in life is to test you - although why that is I'm still unsure. All I know is that there have been times when I couldn't even stand to look at the rain and yet now I have taught myself to dance. Just remember that for every raindrop there is an umbrella, for every tear there is a tissue, and after every storm there is a rainbow.
