It's always good to get a different perspective. We tend to view life from one way of seeing things, and I think we end up missing out on other stuff because of this tunnel vision we have at times. This hit me one day while it was raining outside. I realized we have no problems seeing beauty in life around us while every day is sunny, but when the rains come; can we still see the beauty? This led me outside to my little front patio. It's just a small little nook, but I have it filled with flowers as a visual retreat for me and others. But I noticed something while it was raining...
I noticed that everything was pretty darn amazing! I mean, the rain brought out the colors of the leaves and flowers, and everything looked so lush...
It all looked clean and refreshed. The pavement color was richer in color too...a nice short-lived makeover without any work on my part.
The leaves of these coleus were all glistening and shiny...just like Christmas in September! You could really see the richness of the colors and it's beauty.
So real. So wet. So beautiful.
Even the rain drops on the plant were beautiful.
A totally different perspective. Seeing beauty during the rain; in the middle of it, (I was trying to get pictures before I got soaked!) and realizing that even on dark, rainy days, life is beautiful. It takes rain to bring out true loveliness.
It's just learning how to see it through a different lens...
Hope you're able to see the beauty on all your rainy days...blessings!
