Rain is a beautiful thing. I'm from Arizona and about the only time we get rain is during monsoon season and even then, oftentimes it only rains just enough to make your car look really disgusting and the air ridiculously humid. Dancing in the rain is not something we do often enough. It is the most glorious day when the skies open up and rain pours down. Anytime that happens in Arizona it's almost a requirement to stop whatever you're doing, run outside, and feel the falling raindrops. And not just to feel them, but to soak them up, go crazy, and run around like a child because it may be a whole year before you see that much water falling from the sky again. Today I had the strongest urge to run around like a crazy lunatic when I saw the rain fall but I had to remind myself that I was a grown woman and people (mainly my neighbors) might be a little concerned if they saw me getting that excited about the rain. Which I guess is a little sad that I would be that worried about what other people think, but I was. So instead of unleashing my inner child I continued on with normal business but stopped to take a picture of this lovely rainbow. Today not only did we get rain but a rainbow too! That makes for a great day! This rainbow was pretty faint and couldn't be seen easily through the gray, forboding clouds. It made me think of how sometimes in life we really have to search for the beauty. Life is never easy and sometimes it takes great effort to find the rainbows or the good things but I promise it's worth it. Life is so good! I'm so excited that it rained today and with the bonus of a rainbow I just might have to call home to rub it in. :)
