I had a moment leaving the gym today when you're in the locker room and chatting with the other ladies... the weather usually comes up... especially if, like today, it has been pouring down buckets of water. So... the rain came up and this one lady said something about at least her flowers will grow, etc. My response was along the lines of, yes, and... you don't have to shovel it. Well didn't that make her smile. She said she hadn't really thought of that, and that's a pretty good thing to think about when you're getting down about the rain. It's all a matter of perspective. When you think something is bad, well, it could probably be better, but it could also probably be worse. In the end though, rain is just water... you will dry, and as far as I know the Wicked Witch of the West is purely fictional.
Tonight's painting is called "Happy Jack" and has nothing to do with rain or summer. It's the smiling mouth of a jack-o-lantern. Just because.
It's late (again) and while I was up late painting, I was up even later trying to wage war with our budget. Sigh. It's ok... it won't always be like this. And again, could be better, could be worse. Life is good.
Remember a sense of perspective and look on the bright side. Good night!
