It's cold. It's windy. It's raining. This sucks...

And then, this

As we walked home in the rain from our Swiss Ball class, I was concentrating so hard on the less than amazing elements on this, the 29th of May, I almost walked past the begonia that greets us as we walk in.  Not yet denuded of its label, it seemed so intent on providing a respite from the gloom and doom that I had to stop...and think...and smile.  Life in its essence has good days and bad days.  And that's a good thing.  One would never recognize how amazing life can be without a comparative.  And today, upon closer scrutiny, I found the good.  

Unaffected by the cold.  Resistant to the wind.  Embellished by the rain.  Life is...beautiful...and you are loved!
